Danny Fenton Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Looks smashing Heinkel, keep those wings straight, I had one and had a devil of a job trimming it. Got there eventually and it looked great in the air CheersDanny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Darter Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Love flying mine - just don't fly it often enough! Photos of it in my album if you are interested.....Edited By Ed Darter on 05/05/2011 13:18:09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Giles Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 just fineshed mine, was my first build . it flies very nicely on a standard os40. but a 4c would be nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsay Todd Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 You can really turn the Flair SE5a into a cracking scale model without upsetting the excellent flying qualities, I miss mine, enjoy the build its a cracking model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben B Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Wow, that looks amazing. I love the SE5A. Nothing says WW1 so much in my book and lovely lines too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bandit Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Thanks, Heinkel, I have a new SC52 doing nothing, might be worth looking at. Cheers, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Davis Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I have been building for forty years and I can't build to your standard Heinkel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Wood Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 How easy is it too fly when trimmed, and are then any flying shots I am thinking of buying one and putting an os 40 FX in it. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heinkel Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hi Peter,the model flys hands off when trimmed no vices. Go to all all things flying, search for SE5A first flight for some in flight photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindsay Todd Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Unfortunately not, i had a couple of books and 3 views and did a lot of modifications to the fuselage shape as I recall but it was quite a long time ago. i do intend to make another sometime as it was a great model.
