Yes, the Title pretty much sais it all, im gonna try to make a 1/6 Fokker Dr. 1. Ive already finished the fuselage portion, but now the hard part....the Wings. Im still not sure how to do it, but im thinking ill make them either out of sheet metal, or make them out of a wooden construction. Let me know if anyone has any idea of how to do the wings. Thanks a bunch for any future help, and

Best of Regards,

The best ( not the easiest ) way to do it is like an R/C plane ribs construstion. The cheapest way is to get a Guillows kit and enlarge the plans. Nick Ziroli makes a set of plans in a larger scale but I am not sure of the scale. His plans sell for $30 to $50. Again the cheapest route is with the Guillows kit. You could just go with slab balsa wings but that would probably cost some money as well. I think that the wings had no dihedral so they will be strait and that would make it easier .
