    Here are a few photos of a 16" wingspan non-flying display model I'm finishing up. I painted the entire thing by hand with a brush... including the lozenge pattern fabric and all the markings. I'm still tweaking the weathering a bit and have a little cleanup to do but it's basically finished.

    If you already downloaded my .dds files please download the Albatros again. I noticed a color mistake on the bottom of the elevator and fixed it... so I updated the file attached to the post.v_!_JG1_AlbatrosD5_Gabi.dds Update - actually please hold off on the Albatros briefly. I will post an early version and a late version shortly.

    One thing is for certain. Our gov't isn't telling us diddly-squat about what is actually happening.

    So I found a free video editor and put all the segments into one big four hour video. It's good history with poor pronunciation =P,,,Here is the entire thing. I hope everyone enjoys it and perhaps learns something. Sorry I left a few minutes of dead air at the beginning by mistake.

    I haven't finished it yet either. I need to get back to playing it soon
  21. Gabi
    I love this game. I've been playing it since it was released .

    Thanks Etzel. I look forward to flying with you soon

    That's easier said than done. The original WWI aircraft (all of them as far as I know) did not have differential ailerons, so they all had bad adverse yaw. Pilots just had to learn to use the rudder. As far as refitting my plane for differential aileron control it would require a complete redesign of the aileron controls, which as they are now, are very simple - they are just a push/pull cable attached to the bottom of the control stick and to a control horn on the top of each aileron. You can see the black push/pull cable running from under the plane up past the lift struts to the wing. I would have to design some sort of differential pully system with cogs to adjust the throw based on the direction of travel. I chose to build so that it handles as close as possible to how the original aircraft did because I wanted to learn what it was like to fly them.

    October 2007 - my 2nd takeoff in N110GL as part of my phase I flight testing of the Fokker DVIII I built. Testing was performed at Haar Airport in Northwestern Ohio. voiceover is my friend Bill was a stunt pilot, CFI, and airline pilot. Although he is addressing me in the video I couldn't hear him as I don't have a radio in the airplane. It's too damn loud in the cockpit while flying to hear anything but the engine and the wind. Oh and for the record, my name is Gwenydd (pronounced "Gwenyth")not Gwendolyn as my friend Bill liked to call me. Sadly Bill recently died in a plane crash =( Here's my second test flight landing, again with Bill talking to the camera: And here's me taxiing back to the hangar after my first test flight. I was grumpy because I bounced it pretty hard on the first landing. But hey... I'm now a test pilot.

    OH, forgot to mention - I grew up in Newark, OH. That's where I learned to fly.
