Quarter Scale Balsa USA WWI Aircraft at Mead 20 May 2023

Saturday May 20th we held the Western RC Flyers annual "WWI & Golden Age" Fun Fly at our field outside of Omaha, Nebr. near the town of Mead. Shown are 5 BUSA 1/4 scale models that participated. The SPAD XIII on left belongs to Larry Inness; Fokker D7 is Bernie Baker's; the Fokker Eindecker was modified into a Pfalz E.1 by Ronald Kriege; my two are the Sopwith Pup and SPAD XIII on the right.
Note that the two SPADs were built same time. Latex paint job is a mirror image on each. Meaning the camo is opposite on the aircraft.
All use 26cc engines except Bernie's D7 with a G38. The four of us put these fighters into the air together and fly as close to each other as we dare. A blast and the sound of all our engines droning in the air in group fly-bys is cool.

Hello, Nelson It’s more than happy to see you all flew together in air, also great to see you all keep each other informed in advance whenever you intended to turn. This is a very good way to avoid any possible collision I believe. It’s fantastic, well done
