Using the Manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make
assembly easier to understand, and to provide breaks
between each major section. In addition, check boxes
have been placed next to each step to keep track
of its completion. Steps with a single circle () are
performed once, while steps with two circles ( )
indicate that the step will require repeating, such as for
a right or left wing panel, two servos, etc.

Introduction
Loved by the pilots who flew it and feared by those
who flew against it, the Fokker DVII is regarded by
many as the greatest fighter of WWI. E-flite brings this
Great War legend to life with this remarkable foamy
slow flyer that comes out of the box loaded with scale
details. Details like molded machine guns, accurately
modeled interplane struts, a dummy Mercedes engine
and an intricately detailed cooling grille, just to name
a few. Even the vibrant trim scheme that comes pre-
printed on the foam is an authentic reproduction of
the markings on the DVII flown by German ace, Ernst
Udet.
When matched with E-flite’s Park 250 brushless
outrunner motor, the Fokker DVII 250’s featherlight
wing loading and stunning scale appearance make for
a majestic slow flyer experience unlike any other.
