The basic design concept holds for most designs from 10 to 27. There is a longitudinal bar that is attched to the underside of the seat with a welded cross piece. This forms a '?'(T) at the front, with the stick hinged for-aft just ahead of the intersection of the '?'. The two bars sticking out have hinges on them that attach to the vertical tubes, which are hinged to the front of the bell cranks, which are in turn welded to the torque tube that the aileron is on. Photo 95 in the first special shows the lower components really well on a 17. The only part that seems to change between different types is the size and design of the bell crank, and some details. Late war trainers had a simplified bell crank and the 11 seems to have the longitudinal tube extend further forward. The 28 of course had a different design as the ailerons were on the lower wing. -- Mike Fletcher ___ ., mdf@mars.ark.com |-\|^----! ; nieuport@home.com |--n--""*" http://members.home.net/nieuport/ icq=19554083 @ http://mars.ark.com/~mdf/nieuport.html HAM AND EGGS - A day's work for a chicken; A lifetime commitment for a pig. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Nov 1999 11:05:53 -0700 From: "Dale Beamish" To: Subject: Re: WW1 aeroplane models rigging - the steel wire way Message-ID: <00e201bf3514$5781b6c0$3e31b8a1@darcy> Alberto I have tried their wire.

Len, if you cut along to Cosford they have such a beast, and an example of the three cylinder radial on which it is based. The G3 on display at Hendon has a TEN cylinder version of the same engine. Both work on the principle of a twin row radial.The two rows are VERY close to-gether, but viewed side on you can JUST see a slight stagger on alternate pots. Bet they went through a few crank shafts.

I see nothing but misery in your future ;-) My stupid, avoidable, endlessly repeated "duh" is to pick up models where the paint is touch dry, but not hardened, and hold them *just* tight enough to leave ineradicable fingerprints thereby ruining several days work.

My own contributions are: 1. With "invisible nylon" thread rigging, pulling on the one I'm trying to set until I hear "sping!" from some other part of the structure. 2. Trying to hold the thread taut and checking whether the CA has really set yet, only to have the moment I release tension be the moment it sets. 3. Noticing that piece of cockpit gear (seat belts, ammo boxes/cans, *rudder pedals*....) just as I'm removing the clamping from the now closed fuselage. 4. Giving up on finding that one dropped piece of PE and moving on with my life. Only to find it as I am showing the "completed" kit to my loved ones -- often dead square in the center of the work space. and, 5. Hearing the PE or tiny piece of of the kit (usually one that is glaringly obvious if missing but smaller that a pin head) hit somewhere in the room after sneezing suddenly while holding it in a pair of tweezers. But let us not forget the ever-popular **wet sanding down the piece with 600 grit sandpaper and blood from the fingertips as lubricant** .Mark. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Nov 1999 23:15:27 +0000 From: "Steve Cox" To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: 0/400 wasRe: Web Site(s) Update(s) Message-ID: Scho, The same pic is in 'Handley Page Bombers of the First World War'. There is another pic which shows this lighter band, though you can only see the 'B' and the roundel. Since both show the band lining up with the stitching of a fabric panel I would guess that this panel has been replaced at some time and finished with a 'home-brew' mix of the standard colour. I can't find any pictures of other HPs which show that sort of banding. FWIW I looked up a/c D5429 in 'Royal Naval Aircraft Serial & Units 1911-1919' by Sturtivant & Page. This is listed as being coded 'Z' in Sept 1918 and 'L' by Nov 1918.

It took two years to find a space large enough to take my No.3 Wing article, and if reprinted material was being used it could very easily have been made into a two-parter (which I abhore). Many of the articles have been superceded and/or redone in the intervening years, so for the time being I think we will just have to continue passing the same copies around ..... the option of scanning and putting unto CD exists, but this would probably be an unofficial venture amongst friends as the issue of copyright would be an interesting one to address. When we were discussing Aerodrome Modeler 1 1/2 years ago I had a message from one of the C&C authors that he didn't want his material used (he was mixing up my DB with his complete articles), so that would be one more thing to contend with. And yes AM is continuing - there will be an update sent out in the next few days once the next step is taken .. and I apologize for the long delays ingetting it going, most of which are my own fault. I have a master table of contents type index to C&C(USA) that was sent to me years ago if anyone wants a copy it is in Word format or I can paste it into the body of an email. As a founding member of the OTF index committee I must say I haven't heard anything new about it in over a year. I did my own Database that I demonstrated to the other members in Phoenix (and former list-member Eric Fisher also showed his spreadsheet approach), and it was met with much interest. Once again I will mention my database. I started it years ago and it is in Claris v.1 for Macs I did say I started it long ago didn't I). I have two DBS so far. One for all the articles that have appeared in OTF, C&C(GB/INT) and Windsock. this DB has fields containing title author subject personnel unit aircraft misc journal the other is on aircraft photos in the journals and has fields for type serial pilot unit markings misc journal I haven't added to either in the last year as I have still to resubscribe to everything.

I got interested due to a wide variety of factors, everything from books "cleaned" from my grandfather's shelves by my grandmother to playing Red Baron flight sim. I have been building models for many years, but had never gotten really serious about building a WWI subject until recently. As for others, getting more people my age interested would probably be very difficult. I know people who might be interested in building a WWI plane, but at this stage in their life they have other things that they would rather spend their money on. I am a bit of a special case in that I don't go to every movie that comes out and I rarely buy video games or CDs. It is definitely important to get more people interested in WWI modeling. Perhaps we can focus on getting more converts from the existing modeling community by increasing publicity in the hobby magazines. -Chris Friedenbach ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Nov 1999 19:23:50 -0500 From: "Leonard Endy" To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Modeling duhs, was Age of Modelers Message-ID: On Mon, 22 Nov 1999 17:29:32 -0500 (EST), you wrote: >I'll bet everyone on the list has had a piece launched from between the jaws of the tweezers.... >and tried to gauge where it ended up by the tiny "click" as it landed across the room. > >I STILL can't stop myself from looking for it, tho I know it is lost and gone forever. > Guilty as charged.

It's NOT gone forever. It has landed on the back of your favorite book or something, and since you had already but a dab of glue on it, it stuck. You'll find it in a year or two.

In fact I usually fly all of the parts during construction which gets me into trouble with Tech Support who says I can't fly my planes until they have a 'preller and a man in them. My pilot's name is Harry (I'm the only one who can see him) and all of my planes make the same sound. In fact all of my models make the same sound, when I think of it. Dennis Ugulano >> Hah!
