RE: Pfalz DIII resources -- Photos, Drawings, Plans, etc.
Here's a shot of the tail assembly on the Blue Max Pfalz DIII replica. A friend in NZ is taking photos of the Omaka Aerodrome airshow this week. It's the equivalent of Ol Rheinbeck.
Trev, I'd rather do the DIIIa but I need to find out if the drawings of the wings I have (DIII) are the same in terms of rib count and span. Ultimately I'll do the version that I can find the best info on. As purely a matter of preference, I'd rather do the DIIIa.
I'll have to think about the fuse construction. If I think of this more as a historical project I'll go with the authentic Wickelrumpf method. On the other hand, it might be more practical in terms of a flying model to sheet with balsa and then fake the wickelrumpf effect (which IS visible). As far as having a visible seam where the halves join, I imagine that this might also be visible on the original.
