Former FLYINGMODELS F/F Sport columnist, Larry Kruse, built this sport scale S.E.5a from the Hobby Hangar kit and powered it with a Saito .50 four- stroke engine.

prisoner of war. Grinnell-Milne also painted the word “Schweinhund” on the nose of his plane because he was called that by his German captors. The Hobby Hangar design spans a nominal 50 inches and is covered by Solartex “Red” on the fuselage and rudder and “Linen” on the wings and stabilizer. The Lewis machine gun was made with scrap balsa, aluminum tubing, and dowels and the pilot is from Williams Brothers. Callie Graphics did the required custom insignia to bring the plane to life.
