Hi guys. I need your wisdom and experience. 

I am considering buying the Fokker D-VII. It looks like being the easiest to rig.

I have a camel pup and triplane.

What would you advise?

I am thinking about ordering today, but I  am happy to wait.

Thanks.

The Fokker is a real Fokker to build, so many variables with the engine cradle, cowlings, panels, etc. I have been working on mine for over two years off and on, and I’m getting close, but every time I get traction, something makes me take a break from it. On the contrary, the snipe was easier to build. The rigging is not hard with ez-line, it’s just one at a time, I rigged mine in one night. The triplane can be a bit fiddly to align three wings. 
 

My vote is the Pup, it has the upper wing struts integrated into the cockpit side panes, so it’s really hard to screw up alignment on it. Another plus is the extremely low parts count, I think it the perfect starter Wingnut.

Well he said bi plane, but from his five choices, of which he only gave three. Perhaps the D.1 can be one of the other two.

I own 3 biplanes, 1 Junkers and the 5th is the prospective D-VII. :)

 

Sorry I wasn't more clear.
