David,

>So has anyone got a good source where I can get a good look at an Aldis sight?

  http://spider.nji.com/~kymcam/stuff/CobbysCamel006.jpg

It is the view over Cobbys Camel. I dont know how good the pic will be for your aircraft as 4 
AFC hot-rodded their Aldis sites. Gordon Branch unearthed an Engineering Intelligence 
Summary for 4 AFC on the subject of modified Aldis gunsights which became standard in the 
squadron. Probably need to check it against a standard Aldis to see what is differant. 

Most of the AFC Camels have a plain metal blister over the carburetter intake pipe as well. 
Does anyone know if other squadrons used that modification? Seems the 4 AFC engineers 
werent against taking to the aircraft with hacksaws, they modified their Snipes as well.

I think I have it figured out now. Somehow I got bumped off the list and I 
was running the review to confirm, but when I "unsubscribed" I got a message 
back saying that I wasn't subscribed anyway, so I have resubscribed and been 
confirmed that I have been added to the list. Strange, and I apologize for my 
rather careless handling of it. I didn't check my addresses closely.

Red bodies; wood tips with steel sides to represent the "razors"; the
rails attached to the rockets were wood, but the tubes they were
inserted on (which were mounted on the struts) were metal.

Keep in mind that - especially with the Nieuport - the area around and
on the struts were encased with metal.  There was a metal plate
underneath the strut, and metal wrapped around the strut were the
rockets were.

Did that help? ;-)

Sorry it took me so long to reply.  If this is the French two-color,
then you either go with green and brown, or green and olive, depending
on the theory you subscribe to.  Undersides were either CDL, aluminum
or sky blue.  Take your pick, and Dicta Ira! ;-)

Item Description:		
	Lewis gun .303 Model 1915 by Hasegawa - this 1/8 scale kit is the same machine gun that came in the Hasegawa 1/8 scale SE5a kit.  It includes plastic frame, felt background and brass plaque shown on box top.  The inside plastic bag is sealed with all parts included.  This will build up into a nice replica of the Lewis gun - used in World War 1 on such aircraft as the SE5a, Nieuport 11 & 17 & DeHaviland DH.2.  Most 2 seat aircraft flown by the allies had a Lewis gun mounted for the observer in the back.There is no issue date on the kit, but I think it came out in the mid 1970's, and has never been reissued.
     Buyer to pay $4.00 p&h in US, foreign to pay actual cost.  I will accept money order,cashier's check or personal check - allow 7 days for check to clear.

You do, but *he* doesn't. Skippy has been unsubbed, as evidently have
several others. When this happens they can still email to the list (and
subscribers will see it) but unless you answer them DIRECT to their email
address you might as well save your breath since non-subscribers won't get
your list mail.

FWIW, the best way to help someone apparently unsubbed is to email them
DIRECT and tell them that the list is working since you can see their mail. 

If YOU suspect you've been dumped, send an email to
wwi-request@pease1.sr.unh.edu with the content

review wwi
end

When the response comes back check to see whether you're in the subscriber
list, and whether the address there is correct. If not - resubscribe.

I always figured they'd be metallic, but then again, I wasn't there.  A good
bronze color suffices for me, as you could have wood and metal covered...

Cameron,

    THANK YOU IN THE MOST PROFUSE WAY THAT I CAN!!!  THIS is the PERFECT
view to answer all of my gunsight questions and help get the Camel done!  I
am still trying to get the wings finished nicely, and ave to, although I
hate to, separate the flying surfaces and control surfaces, and rebuild the
hinges - so much has been lost and also fouled after all of the work I've
done.


    The Camel does have a Bentley cowl, as far as I can approximate, and I
have mixed up a batch of PC-10 that I really like, and it looks good on her.
I replaced the stitching with Archer dry transfers, as well as the fasteners
on the cowl.

    At the same time, I am working on some ot aircraft for the 'Battle of
Britain' category in Anniston, and Lord Bittner: I have stepped into your
realm, but at least it's ot!

                                                                        ;)

Hey Kids,

    Enjoying the slumber party?  I wish I was down there, but I can't leave
on the new bike until I get the 600-mile service.

    OT subject news?  Wayull, I'm getting all ov the cowling ready for the
cherry red, and I've also replaced the stitching on the fuselage with Archer
dry transfer stitching - it has a cool 3-D effect as it has texture - and I
have also used Archer transfers to replace the fasteners on the cowl and gun
cover and inspection panels.  Neat stuff to play with!  The only downer now
is that because of the gap between the flying and control surfaces, I am
going to separate them and clean them up some.  I have lost too much hinge
detail anyway, so I'll make new ones.  They'll probably look alright.

     Hey kiddies, before you go night-night, look at some of the pics that I
have posted.  I'll try and get the other 5 tomorrow to Allan.

                                                        Nighty-night Y'all!

Y'all, please forgive this....


    I find that one of the really prevailing trends in world society is the
lack of heroes, and though I could never question the heroism of WW2 vets
that are currently being celebrated, I figure that it's time for a good WWI
aviation-oriented film.  But I had an idea that would make it more sale-able
to today's youth, and I figured that I might pass this by my most esteemed
cooleagues (that was a typo, but I'll leave it - 'cooleagues', I like it!),
and you could tell me whether it flies, or flops to the ground like MvR's
Triplane after he took that case of heartburn over that Aussie AA battery:


    Could it be a movie where all of the pilots are children with really,
and I mean REALLY, big eyes and heads are the combatants?  You can set the
picture anywhere you want, because this will be a VIRTUAL-type movie, and
they will all be competing to catch computer animals in mid-air, and instead
of aircraft joysticks, they can be flying the planes with the latest
Nintendo-model, and instead of bullets, the planes shoot Poke balls or
something, and all of the planes are really made out of some titanium alloy,
but since the main characters are all wearing portable levitation devices,
when the planes get shot down, they just bail out and use their rocket packs
to fly home, you know: 'The Great Waldo Pepper 2001'!  With successful
marketing, the thing'll be a smash - as long as there's a tie-in with
McDonald's, there's nothing to fear!

    Pardon me while I climb back into my box....

Hey all,
     I'll be leaving in 24 hours for the gathering of, as Bill Bacon lovingly 
refers to us, "the Mad Lads".  Looking forward to meeting people face-to-face 
after all these years of reading e-mails.  I will also be wearing my button!! 
 I'll unsub tomorrow and try to get one last read in before I go.  Hopefully, 
someone will have access to "The List" while we are all there.  Really 
looking forward to this adventure.  I'll be back Sunday night.
     See ya,

There is a really good WW1 flying story, so good that Hollywood will bite for 
the first one who pitches it to them.  My writing partner and I have the 
pitch - we have to wait for the right timing.  It is so cool, so good, and 
such a sure thing that I will not mention the subject (not to mention my 
writing partner would publicly strangle me if I was so stupid).  Please, all 
of you, do me a favor and do not speculate here what it is, you might be 
right, and we do not know who all reads the list.  I will only say that two 
very damn good writers, who are two very damn good WW1 modelers and damn 
knowledgeable on the subject, have this in their sights.  We have to get 
someone to step up to "TRINITY" so we have the "push" to get them to listen 
to our pitch - that is becoming more possible daily. If that happens, and I 
announce to you what it is, you will all go "WOW!!" so loud that I will hear 
those on the other side of the pond here in LA without the internet. Please, 
leave the subject of WW1 movies alone right now if you want to see a good one.

I have asked this before without a satisfactory resolution And how were these
rockets wired and fired?
That iss, I asssume they were fired electrically. Were the wiring runs internal?
external?

Message-ID: <200004121247.IAA16791@pease1.sr.unh.edu>


Some background on the list unsubscribing members:

As a matter of self-defense the list software automaticly unsubscribes
anyone who bounces mail for ANY reason. Full mailbox, hiccup in the 
internet preventing delivery, dead account, etc. 

If it did not it would have to store the bounced messages (think of all
the messages on this system then multiply by a hundred or more). My 
server would quiclky choke on the backlog.

The review command to the listproc (wwi-request) is your best tool to see
if you are still "on the air". If you got booted resub. If you get booted
on a regular basis and your mailbox is NOT filling up it may be your
local internet or ISP.

Let me know how I can help.

I have asked this as well, and there's no clear answer.  It *appears*
that the wiring was external, coming from the rear of the rocket, down
to the wing, and somehow attached to the wing before entering the
fuselage.  It *appears* firing was controlled by some "box", but it's
all speculation, because I have seen no pictures showing this
arrangement - not even the wires coming from the rear of the tube down
to the wing.  Dicta Ira on this one, that's for sure.

Thanks for the come-back, but I think it is 'only' speculative (for me, at this point)
because I have never had the opportunity to examine an early generation photoprint of
a rocket-equipped aircraft.  The available lithographic reproductions in the enthsiast
press have been printed with insufficient resolution to make out the details of
interest.

All-

Although I currently live in Huntsville, AL, my in-laws are still in Pensacola.  I've read so many posts about the OTF seminar in P-cola, but only with a passing interest, since I didn't think I'd be able to attend.

As it turns out, my wife and I are heading down there this weekend for a family birthday.  From the latest posts on the subject, it sounds like my trip schedule and the seminar just might overlap enough for it to be worth investigating.  I'd be willing to bet that I could get the kitchen pass for a couple of hours on Saturday.

Knowing absolutely nothing about the seminar, is it something that I needed to register for a long time ago?  Or is it one that I can drop in on for just part of one day?  Is there a schedule?  Will there be vendors?  Any and all details would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks-
Ken

Greetings,

I know this is a little late but...

>>I got my SMO supplement yesterday. I see the new Aviatik 30.40 and WKF
D.1 from Aliance Models, both 1/48(hee hee hee). Has anyone else seen
this and called to see if this is really in stock or just another  DML
Camel? Please let me know, as I can't make long distance calls from work
and SMO isn't open when I'm not at work, or stuck in traffic trying to
get home.<<

I have seen the Aviatik at SMO with my own eyes. I would hazard a guess
that the WKF is also there. The model is surprisingly small. Matt Bittner
might even like it!

>>(anniversary present. six years, the 'resin' anniversary. remember that
one.)>>

I am going to use this one. Ha hah!

Later!

Brent

I received my Eduard Roland CII the other day (thanks Barry), and boy, is it a little gem.  Can't comment on outline or dimensional accuracy, but the molding is up to par with those Tamigawa kits IMHO.  There is absolutely no comparison to their earlier kits, like the Starstrutter.  Should be a lot of fun to assemble.

The kit provides paint masks and decals for two versions.  No PE parts in this one, everything is plastic.  Well worth the price, though.
