This is a Balsa USA 1/4 Scale Fokker D.VII handed down to me from a friend. This series will cover the good, the bad and the ugly on what has occurred in the past and what will be done to make it right and turn it into a beautiful plane that will enjoy many years of flight. Join me for the journey.

If you’re not buying because of interest rates, but are renting a storage unit & a house I’ll say your monthly payments will be pretty close. If you buy you can always remortgage when they come down.

That is still being highly considered. Rental prices in one of Illinois highest property tax counties is another issue. Taxes drive up the cost of everything.

Bud, I watched this video again. I would call that little thing you put in there on the edges, an underpatch!! I would do that with Monaco.

I hope that you find a place that makes you feel happy, comfortable and safe. I have found that it's cheaper to buy than it is to rent. Can't wait to see the fokker D7 finished. You know, I have all the Episodes you have made so far.. I plan on building the 33% D7 my self next after the tri-pacer. Probably won't see yours for a while!! Maybe next Spring Hey?? I'm getting ready to start my 33% Piper tri-pacer P22. I am retired so, I figure a year to finish her......

For filling the little Wavy spots on the Control Surfaces and the back of the wings. I suggest, you watch Balsa USA's RU-vid on: Oratex covering. The cutting of the material should be the same. My opinion only, But if you watch it, it may be helpful. Let me know what you think of the video. Later!!

Luv your vidoes. ❤ what's that covering fabric ... is that silk?
@BudChristensen
@BudChristensen Год назад
I haven't worked with silk yet. It is a polyester weave called Koverall.

Hello bud, how's it going? Got my flat table done. Now i'm going to start building the Piper Tri-Pacer P 22. Hope you haven't given up on your plane or the hobby. I hope things are going well for you. I look on youtube every week to see if you posted a new video..

Between work, the house and now both of us with C*vid, I have been working on finishing the work shop. Should have the lighting finished in the next few days, then assembling a few more storage shelves and I should be ready to get back to work! drive.google.com/file/d/11ZgOvVd43DTn15SlT_XrOixwDAzro8gU/view?usp=share_link

Hey Bud, High rates mean lower prices and some good deals out there. If you can afford the rates till they change and they will, it can be a good time to buy. If you wait for the rates to go down the prices will go up and you can't change paying to much. Good luck with the move, hope you get a great place. Phil

Hey Bud, just found your channel and watched the Christen Special Bipe videos and the whole D.VII build (so far). Nice work on the D.VII! I have a 1/6th scale Balsa USA DR1 that is going to be my winter project, so I may have to use some of your tips for that. Haven't decided on going Oratex or fabric and dope yet. I want to do the Kempf scheme instead of the old standby Red and White, so custom paint is going to be a deciding factor on Fabric or Oratex. As a side note...where did you get Waldo from? I have been looking for a good pilot, but mostly there is just cheesy crap out there. Thanks and good luck with the move.
@BudChristensen
@BudChristensen 2 года назад
Kevin, I purchased Waldo from Aces of Iron (acesofiron.com). Unfortunately, that pilot is no longer produced, but they do have others to choose from!

Do you sand the frame(s) after the coats of dope, before you add the covering material?
@BudChristensen
@BudChristensen 2 года назад
Yes. I use 320 grit sand paper and just enough to smooth any wood grain that is being uncooperative.

I am still alive! Right now finalizing the last few bits in purchasing a house. The closing is scheduled for Nov 14th. I will hopefully have a quick video on the setting up of a new building area in the garage. Hopefully I will get back to work on the Fokker by mid December!

Well report!! I'd like to know how you're doing. I hope the house hunting is successful. For what I can tell on the news, it's going to be hard. Because, of the supply an demand Situation at hand... I think about your welfare, In a friendship kind of way!! God-bless!! I hope things are going good. I've watched you now for, almost a year or so. Consider yourself a friend. My wife is from Chicago In the Displaines area. (Not sure about the spelling), Well connected if you know what I mean. I am from Detroit well connected if you know what I mean. My father was a teamster working for Jimmy Hoffa, Ca-pish!! It would be nice to set down over coffee and shoot the breeze about our planes. When we come to Chicago it would be nice to be able to look you up. Maybe see the B17. My grandfather was a B17 tail gunner in wwII. Anyway, hope things are going good talk to you later......

I'm almost done emptying the house, the shop has been empty since last Sunday (9/18). Me and my better half have been house shopping for a few weeks and hopefully finding what we're looking for soon. I'll keep everyone up to date as things progress and a quick little video when the paperwork has been signed.
