RE: Pfalz DIII resources -- Photos, Drawings, Plans, etc.
Gentlemen:
I have finally got my Pfalz D-IIIa into the air on 07-02-05! It was pretty uneventful, and the only trim it needed was some down trim. This seems to be typical for these type aircraft. If you read any full-scale pilot reviews they all seem to have to push ahead on the stick, even to the point of pilot fatique! The ZDZ has plenty of power with a 20/10 Zinger prop, in fact after my departure turn, it is more comfortable to fly throttled back, not bad for a 29lb. airplane. Landings are typical in that you need to carry some power right down to the ground, because of all the drag. My buddy took some in flight shots today, 07-09-05, and I'll post them when he sends them over. Afew more flights, and we'll be ready for the fly-in at St. Charles IL. at Robart, and then it is on to the Dawn Patrol 2005 in Dayton, OH. at the end of September, hop to see some of you guy's at either one
