In the spring of 1917, the Albatros
D III through D Va fighters were more or less “standard equipment” in all 37
German fighter squadrons at “the front”. They were in large part responsible
for German air superiority which reached its peak in “Bloody April” 1917. It
was only toward the end of 1917, with the arrival of the S.P.A.D.’s, S.E.5’s and
Camels that the balance began to shift back to the Allies.

- Unique multi-layer Fuselage construction is
light, stiff and has
better resistance to twisting than "X" or carbon braced fuselages.
- Fuselage design insures proper

servos and battery and completely conceals the wiring and ESC. No
wires hanging loose!
- The Fuselage is pre-assembled in
factory jigs to ensure accuracy.
- Custom aluminum motor mount and hardware.
- Custom formed aluminum landing gear and
axle assembly for strength and good ground handling. No flimsy
gear here. Plywood mounts and large, light weight wheels are
included.
- Construction is from 6mm Depron with 3mm tail
surfaces.
- All Depron parts are machine cut and
"keyed" for easy, accurate assembly.
- Wings are machine to accept the supplied
1/8" carbon tube spars, just CA the spars in place.

correct servo placement.
