Two BUSA 1/4 Scale SPAD XIIIs Build Projects

These Balsa USA kits were recently built, and waiting on maiden flights - WIND and weather dependent.... Larry Inness and myself modeled the SPADs after Eddie Rickenbacker's and the "Hat in the Ring" 84th Aero Squadron, 1st Pursuit Group of WWI fame.
They were covered with a linen-like material (Koverall) and latex paint. Roundels hand-painted. Larry's has a DA 35cc and mine a DLE 35cc RA for power. Larry's 18 lbs and mine 20 lbs which included 2 lbs of added ballast to get the proper balance.
Eventually we will get these in the air and be flying formation together. Video of them flying will follow. Thanks for viewing the slideshow.
