Here's a documentation question: Besides WWI Aero #139 and Herris' book, anyone know of any other sources of documentation for the Pfalz DR.I?


One the older issues of "Over the Front"quarterly magazine had a nice article w/photos and a pullout 5-view by Dan-San Abbott of the Pfalz DRI.

If you can find more on the old Pfalz triplane model, that would be great. I'd love to see more pictures of it.
By the way, do you still have your old Pfalz? That model is a true classic!

Mode one...yes...here is a link to the forum for WWI Aero:

Best regards,
Tom Polapink

After well over 350 flights, I came down one AM to fly to find am oil soaked engine compartent on the floorn floor, with emgine lying on the mount, laying with engine weighs, tank, gas all drained, saying, It ' the ent d. Let's call it a day."
By then all the cabane's were soaked and weak, and ready to go.
I''lln look for the "tri".

Sorry to hear your Pfalz was a victim of glow fuel, but at least it had a long life.
Best,
Tom

Have two Pfalz D.III's on the bench, would appreciate any comments to bring the plans up-to-date
[The plans are great for their time!]

I just saw the maiden flight on the web, congratulations! Now your work gives you not only a terrific model, but a wonderful RC Scale Plane as well. Now the real fun begins getting used to it in the air. Great job!

Best to you,

Vern

Status: offline 		Well, this site has been inactice for about 2 months now and I just found it. I became a member of RCU early in Nov. for an entirely different reason, not really knowing what was here or what it was all about. Maybe I still dont, but I've found some really cool stuff. I also became a member of the WWI Aerodrome at about the same time, I found it accidentally when I Googled Pfalz and followed one of the headers to a site that was having a discussion on plans for the Pfalz DIII/a. Turns out that that thread was also several years old and inactive but I became a member and have been reading a lot of old threads and looking at some builds. I've always thought I built OK lookin airplanes but some of the stuff I've seen makes me think that maybe I'll take up knitting. There're some really eye watering things going on out there. Anyhow I got the hots for a Pfalz DIII, I like the III more than the IIIa for the buried guns, but the IIIa has a sexier stab shape. I dont know what the other differences are yet, I'm a Pfalz rookie, but I'll learn. I've only read the first page of this so far and I'm gonna go back and read it all. A build thread on the Drome forum led me to Glen Torrance and a build on his site led me here, where I discovered this forum then this thread. There's a rumor that GTM may be working on a Pfalz, I e-mailed him with some questions a couple of days ago and haven't heard back yet, I'm excited... I have done the same things a lot of others have done by ordering Wylams drawings and the two Data files, just recenrly, dont have them yet. I am considering getting the drawings from AZM. I built his Lewis gun for my SE 5a and the cockpit kit but they are a challenge to achieve satisfactory results, just found out the drawings are from Polopink Happy landings Doc M.

Status: offline 		Well, I've finally got my camera situation settled, and will be building a pair of Pfalz....one to Alan Spievak's plan, and one more scale, but with similar internal structure.

1/6th scale Pfalz D.IIIas

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All!

Does anyone else want one while I'm cutting???
