Why are you posting this here?

Because it's also Fokker Dr1 Triplane. And it's a good community where some time we works on same projects but don't know each other. But it feels good... :hatsoff:

This is known as "hijacking" someone else's thread, and is extremely poor manners and lack of forum decorum

You have already posted this video in another new thread

If you think working on same project and posting it in a same thread is hijacking some one's idea, then I have nothing to say. in that case every one is hijacking every ones plan. And he is making with balsa and mine is Thermocol so don't know how you think i'm hijacking his idea.
For your concern I deleted the post, now I think it's fine.

Sir what did you use to cover the wing, monokote or simple wrapping polythene?
