The radiator and rudder do kind of look like they belong to a Fokker D.VII.

(GULP) kinda---sorta--- DVII-ish. But a double bay and not one "N" strut in the lot?? Cabane struts from what??? JN-4 or Re-8 ??

Its a Loehle kit... a number of years ago they put out a kit for several airplanes... SPAD, Jenny, D7. The same kit for all the planes with a few minor (very minor) vismods to make them look kind of sort of like what they were supposed to represent... if you stepped back a few hundred yards and squinted... A few turn up every now and again...

If instead of calling it a D7 and instead called it a WWI wannabe... then it wouldn't be so... ummm... well, you know what I mean.

Add a fake rear seat and call it a Central Powers 2 seat observation plane. There were so many of them you could make up a designation and nobody would know the difference.

It kind of looks like the result of repairs after a Fokker and a SPAD had a ground collision and there were enough parts to make one plane.

If you just call it an ultralight/exp LSA done in the style of a WW1 plane (which is what it is), it's appears actually quite a good little flivver for the price. A lot of fun flying for micro bucks (relatively).
