It was a real honor to win "Central Powers Aircraft" award at the Southern Dawn Patrol. This is my first award with this plane. I had a really good time at your event. Thanks for putting on another great event! See you next year!

RE: Half Scale Fokker DVI
Barry and I, are for the most part completed with the D6 half scale project. We took it down to SDP in December and they posted some great pics of the plane on there web site also GTM has some engine shots posted on his web site as well. I will be taking the D6 to various Dawn Patrols and Warbird rallies in 2010. I hope to see alot of you guys at the different events. I plan to take pics of the "2010 tour" and post them as I get back from each event .Then I will close this thread....[sm=crying.gif]
Barry and I have plans at the plotter dude for a 1/2 scale DH2, with a moki radial!!!!!!! I am gathering parts, electronics, construction materials, etc. And I think we will do another thread similar to this one....[sm=confused.gif]...if there is any interest....
Thanks for your interest,
Paul Westrich

cant be any worse than the tub on the FEE I designed for the UK guys. they are going to do it like the fill scale and carve a foam plug and then laminate their wood vernier strips in layers onto it.

LOL.....that's not an exageration there Lee... Doc, I think I need to grab something close to my wallet as I think I'm about to lose my *****. Paul, I've told you over and over....when you say suprise it's supposed to involve a cake with a dancing girl jumping out of it. Guys I'm beginning to think he's untrainable.

Well, after doing some numbers here's what were looking at a wingspan of 168" a lenght of 150" and a height of 54" and I believe the fuselage booms where they attach to the wings will be approx 60" apart (this is a guess) We have two GTM Dr1's to do, and I'm 75 percent through a 1/3 Albatros DV..I think we need one or two more things to do to just to make sure we don't get bored.

lol how bout something big for a change rofl I almost done with a set of Roland CII Walfische plans they would be impressive at 1/2 scale or a tiny 1/2 scale Pfalz DVIII which at 1/2 scale be the size of most 3rd scales hehehe

RE: Half Scale Fokker DVI
I would love to do the Pfalz.....in a heartbeat, I'm working on a 1/3 Schukert to hopefully build in the near future, I'm out sourcing the cowl and spinner at the moment. The Roland would be pretty cool also ,but my vote is for the Pfalz.

RE: Half Scale Fokker DVI
the cool thing abt the pfalz is just by not modifying anything but the struts you can create the Pfalz DRI from it. thats what these plans are going to be they will be the Pfalz DVIII/DRI I have a 3D screenshot of the framing will dig up for you and give you specs. the plans will be finished within the next month and the kit will be shipped off to the UK. I will let you know as things progress and can prob talk jaime into sending you off a set of plans when finished. will get you dimensions later as I am crunched to finished drawing a display case for an airport for a 1/4 scale spad this afternoon.
Yea the roland would be huge at 1/2 scale at around 22 ft ws (not fully sure off top my head but its a biggun
