SIMPLY LIKE A REAL PLANE
In order to build a beautiful scale model, you only have to make the most faithful replica of the real plane. I discovered this simple truth when I built my first Fieseler Storch, which I constructed with a welded steel tubing fuselage identical to the full size aeroplane.
The final result was simply astonishing!

By replicating the skeletal structure it gives an extremely realistic finish, both to the external look, as well as to the interior viewed through the cabin windows. Because you are not in front of just another big scale model, but of a real, true-to-scale aircraft.
These aircraft (I apologize, but I really can’t call them simply “models”) are not only pleasing to the eye, but their flight characteristics are incredibly similar to those of the full size. This is because of the larger scales I've chosen and because of intensive study and research of original plans and airfoils. There are other benefits too. Not only are these stainless steel structures extremely strong, but also very light, much lighter than their traditional balsa/ply counterparts. Let’s see an example: a traditional quarter scale replica of a Fieseler Storch weighs around 17 kgs, but my Storch weighs only 11,5 kgs and in comparison is much, much stronger.
In my kits nothing is left to chance on structural integrity and leaves the modeler free to finish the aircraft according to personal preference, for a wonderful, true to scale aeroplane. Because construction replicates the full size it can withstand a lot of abuse and even the hardest landings. Similarly small repairs and servicing are simple and straightforward. Therefore the operational life of these large scale aircraft is bound to be similar to that of their beautifully preserved full-size brothers, many of which are still flying to this day and are so evocative of bygone eras.

Welded tube frames
I have been building for the last few years almost all the scale reproductions airplanes with a fuselage structure made with welded tubes.

Scale ribs
The weight of each rib is almost the same of the rib made in balsa or lightened poplar plywood but with a far superior strength.

with the Piper-fuselage.
He will finish the model with electric motor to be equal to the full size plane behind him.
The two airplanes will fly together next year.
Pixture was taken on 11 September 2010 in Epinal (France) by Thomas Wetter.
