Default RE: Pfalz DIII resources -- Photos, Drawings, Plans, etc.

Hi Geezer,
No need to apologize about the name spelling...I knew who you were talking about!
As for details on plans, I'll be the first to admit that the plans I draw leave a lot to the imagination. They show basic construction, but you have to work out the details yourself. When I build a model I usually only draw the most basic outline shapes, rib locations and things like that, then start building. For the Pfalz, I went back after mine was flying and inked the plans for the 1/5 scale version, adding a few building details, but there are still things you have to figure out for yourself. They were drawn back in the 80s or early 90s as I remember, and I haven't really drawn plans for others to build from since that period.

Dan - Thanks for filling me in about the 1/4-scale plans. I hope people buying them realize that the wood sizes called out on the drawings won't match what they are building.

Mode one - I would hope so.

Best regards,
Tom
