Here's some new video of this lovely old plane. I edited some new video taken the other day by my neighbor. I forgot to tell him that it also recorded sound. I edited out the part where he makes airplane sounds

I'm so glad that I put this plane back together. A joy to fly. Gets about 4 to 5 minutes of flight at 1/2 to 1/3 throttle. I'll paint it one of these days. Suggestions as to paint scheme?

The Gotha is even nicer. Can you tell us a bit about that one too?

Well to start with the Gotha is not mine, the Fokker is. The Gotha video was made at a large RC electric only meet. I added more info on the Gotha thread.

I like the Fokker.
