Re: Aerodrome Aeroplanes Kits?????

I know Airdrome Aeroplanes owner Robert Baslee. He's a good designer and his aircraft are well engineered. I've been to his shop and I was impressed with the quality of his operation. The kits are good.

Watching videos I was blown away by how quickly the Full-sized Nieuport 17 accelerated and took off. It used a 2180cc VW engine with a Valley Engineering redrive and a 96 inch prop. I hear the planes are not difficult to fly, but taildragger experience is necessary. I suspect that flying quality has a lot to do with how accurately one adjusts the rigging.

If I was starting over I would build one of these Nieuport kits instead of building from the Graham Lee plans.

My buddy Ray is building a Nieuport 28 with a radial engine. There are some photos of it on the web page at http://www.airdromeaeroplanes.com/
