Glenn Baker sent us this photo of his friend’s Nieuport
28, just before its maiden flight at the 114th Aero
Squadron in Grapevine, Texas.

“This is a Maxford USA model. The wingspan is 68 inches
and length is 53 inches. A CRRC GP26R [engine] with
electronic ignition powers it.
“Upgrades from the stock kit include detailed machine
guns and a period propeller. The kit’s included tail wheel
was replaced with a more realistic skid. Scale-looking wheels
were dressed up with stars.”
The 114th Aero Squadron is an AMA chartered club
that supports airplane and helicopter modelers. The club
supports the local community by hosting several events
such as the Grapevine Outdoor Kids Adventure Day and
SantaCops. The 114th Aero Squadron’s website address is
