Somebody finally asked I question I can answer - WHAT DONT I KNOW? :-) I would like to add four topics to the list: 1) Aligning the wings. (Techniques, jigs - whatever you use) 2) Rigging - perhaps a video version of DURAS (any system which allows Dennis to turn out so many excellent models at such a pace must have merit) 3) Detailing the engine - mine never seem to look right. 4) Application of large decals ... lozenge, or whatever. I may think of more (for the general public, someone really should include a short item on effective filling/sanding) but this is a start. Oh yes! One more - we have a couple of people who take fabulous photos of their finished work. That might be a good last item for the video!

But I guess that would also depend on the caliber of vac-u-form machine the individual modeler owns; homemade or other wise. But I like the thought of Video.

If so could I get a copy of them? << No, the Airframe kit instructions are as basic as the kit. It looks like Merlin may have just copied his line drawing. Look at Matt's response. He has located the reference material for the W-20. If I recall, its the same photos I used when I made mine before Windsock published them. Per the Merlin exploded view, the front of the engine rests on the cut out of the front support. I would start there. Just remember the lower frame supported the engine and the upper frame supported the wing. Build the lower frame and mount the engine. I think the upper portion should fall into place. Again, study the Austrian seaplanes. The framing is very similar.

Would it be possible to have a > notification sent to advise when you've been booted or perhaps a pending > boot? Al? OK, I guess I haven't explained this in a while so I'll try again now. The list software automaticly deletes anyone who bounces mail back to the server as undeliverable. It does this as a self-preservation technique to keep my disks from filling up with bounced mail. They would fill up VERY quickly if it didn't do this. I cannot set the list not to do this, it's part of the features of the software that are coded into the source. If your mail account bounces mail you're likely to get deleted. I have found that the 'free' e-mail services like hotmail and yahoo tend to have more service interruptions as does AOL. People with mail accounts at these places tend to complain more often of getting booted. Also if your mailbox gets 'full' and you bounce mail you will be deleted. Again, I'm sorry for the inconvience, but it's part of being able to make the list continue to run.

The German Army Air Services In WWI pg. 9* Plus these others: - WARPLANES & AIR BATTLES OF WWI, Fitzsimons, pg.52, 98 - AERO Magazine # 109, pg. 55 (cockpit) - Nowarra, Heinz J. A Pictorial History of Luftwaffe, Vol 2, 1915-18 pg. 123 Sorry - no scanner. And, as always, I am suspicious of the Nowarra identification. Not a whole lot on this plane... good luck.

Heck, we have the Chicago Cross and Cockade Society members that turn up at our show. My guess is that on a per capita basis, our local show would be tough to beat on quantity of entries, especialy if you count all WW I models. I believe that we had something like 20 plus on topic models at the last one out of several hundred entries. And I attribute that to being right smack dab in the middle of the region. Heck, one of these days we may even get Matt to show up. Glen ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 1798 **********************
