This year Robert Baslee owner of
Airdrome Aeroplanes introduced his latest design to the flying public, the
Fokker D 7. The D 7 is an 80% replica powered by a Hirth 110 hose power
engine.
The craft is being supplied as a quick build kit which should take the
average builder about 200 hours to complete. All of the fabrication,
welding etc is done at the factory so that the customer needs only basic
skills to build the plane.
The kit is a T6 6061 aluminum kit, which is riveted together. The wing
uses tube spars and aluminum ribs. Covering is standard aircraft covering
materials. With each kit the builder is supplied with a comprehensive
manual, and a video that starts at building the table that will be used to
build the plane on, through the entire building, covering, painting and
rigging process.
The plane once completed stalls at 35 mph, cruises comfortably at 80
mph and climbs out at just over 1,000 feet per minute.
