The legendary Fokker D-7 was credited with the ability to make good pilots out of mediocre pilots and great pilots out of good pilots, just as this model can. The D-7 was also responsible for swinging the balance of air power back in favor of Germany late in the First World War. So if you are tired of being hunted at your flying field, try being the hunter with your very own Balsa USA Fokker D-7.
