I will build a FOKKER. In fact I'm presently drawing up plans in CADD of a
FOKKER DVIII. I'm using the SCALE AIRCRAFT DRAWINGS VOLUME 1 - WORLD WAR I
published by Model Airplane News. I have two questions however and maybe
someone out there can help me. I plan to build a 1/5 scale RC plane. I need
information on the thrust line for the engine however. If I read the plans
right, it seems to indicate that there is slight UP thrust in the firewall
and no side thrust. I guess the side thrust is right but most of my flying
buddies disagree with UP thrust for the engine. If anything, they feel the
plane should have downthrust. Also, would anyone have any airfoil data on
the wing?
Anything would be appreciated. Thanks.
