RE: BUSA 1/4 Scale Fokker Dr 1
V.G.
There is a real good book,Fokker V5/Dr.1,a Schiffer military history book.It tells all the problems and fixes the tripe went thru.WW1 aircraft advanced quite rapidly,The Dr.1 filled a void when the Allies had the advantage,its reign was around a half a year before coming obsolete.In my opinion from all the reading I've done,a lot had to do with poor workmanship,and moisture getting thru the covering separating the glue joints.V.G. you are correct they had wing failures,the Germans set up a commission to evaluate the Dr.1 after having failures just months being released.Ten main fixes had to be made before re-entry into service.
The book also tells of the entire construction process,from the welded frame to the 3" wide paint brush,great read.-jeffo
