RE: 1/2 Scale Fokker D-8
Hi Del
Good to hear from you. How about making that trip to Rhinebeck this year? You and all your Buddy's from over there should get together and come on out. We would all love to have you guys with all those beautiful WW-1 planes!!!! I'm really going to try to get this wing done for that event. There's a rumor Kermit weeks might be bringing his new D-7 there. The aerodrome has done a great job in restoring a lot of the planes for this years events. I think things will be improving year after year.
On the struts, I will look for the photo's, if I can't find them I'll do a draw up for you. it's really very simple. All the struts on the Fokkers can be done to scale. There's no reason not. I did get the ailerons covered, next is the wing!!!! I can't wait to start gluing panels on. This wing is so big, As each panel goes on it will get even bigger, as you know! Keep in touch.
Tom P.S. That's a 12 inch rule in the pic. These ailerons are as big as my third scale elevators.
