RE: Markings on a dope finish?

Hi Abu
do you know www.flightlinegraphics.com ?

RE: CD ScaleDesigns Albatros CI build

I believe that if my Alb flies so well in 1/6 scale in a bigger scale (1/4) it should fly only better

No, my Albatros CIII is from my own plans; 1/6 scale and all the angles , incidence and wash-out are like the original; the airfoil also is from original 1915 drawings.

RE: CD ScaleDesigns Albatros CI build

Hi Don
..... the Strutter had a ''wire'' edge but it was apparently rigid enough not to allow any scallop. [/quote]
