This translates to .288" dia full scale or slightly more than 1/4" dia which is good for most wire rigging on OT aircraft but is too small for "raf" wire. In 1/72 .006 translates to .432"dia or somewhat less than 1/2" dia. Probably good to represent raf wire. Unfortuately .004-.005" dia is a bit hard to find and is quite fragile.

I have just finished re-reading it after an 8 year interim. To The Ends Of The Air by Group Captain G. E. Livock DFC AFC Published by Her Majesty's Stationary Office, 1973 Crown Copyright 1973 SBN 11 290151 4 paperback, 4 1/2" x 7", 204 pages Illustrated with 16 pages of photographs, plus several maps and diagrams. This book is the third in a series of volumes commissioned by the Imperial War Museum to document personal points of view and experiences in the Great War. Young Master Livock joined the Royal Naval Air Service in 1914 and received his pilots license No. 1004 that same year. He served as an active duty pilot of Seaplanes and Flying Boats for the duration of the war, including flying the great Felixstowe F2a out of RN Air Station Great Yarmouth. A quote from the book: "I returned from sick leave in the middle of June and a week or so later was posted to Westgate-On-Sea in Kent, to take over command of the seaplane station there. Although this was my first command and meant promotion, I was disappointed to leave a job I liked so much, and the wonderful crowd of pilots at Yarmouth. It was sad, too, to say goodby to (Felixstowe F2a) N 4283, in which I had done so much interesting flying. Bob Leckie and I had dazzle painted her in a wonderful black and white striped design, thereby starting a fashion. Before long all our boats looked both gay and rather fearsome in the color schemes chosen by the individual crews." Group Captain Livock went on to fly Fairey IIIC's in Northern Russia in 1919, and later was intimately involved in the pioneering flights to the Far East, including the first Royal Air Force flight to fly from England to Australia, in four Supermarine Southamptons. Group Captain Livock finished his aviation career in 1931, in command of No. 205 Squadron and O C RAF Far East. This book is a wonderful glimpse into the people, places and machines of the earliest days of British Naval Aviation. Highly recommended to all.

How in the world did you get it? If you look long and hard enough for anything, you will most likely find it. I had been looking for one for about fourteen years when I finally found one. There were a few engines offered by Ken Hyde in the mid-1980's for about $20,000+, and that was too rich for my blood, but if you keep at it, they are around. It's simply a matter of timing, homework, and a little luck. >Why wasn't it chopped up for scrap half a century ago? That's funny you should say that. My motor was being used as a water pump for a sugar cane plantation in Louisiana in the 1950's. I have tried to find out its' history previous to that, and in particular, how it got to the states, and when. I do know my motor was delivered to Fokker on March 11th, 1918 and went into a Fokker D.VII, but after that, I don't know. >From all of the interred lists of Fokker D.VIIs brought to the states, there are none that have my motor number. My motor went into one of the first twenty D.VIIs built, which was in April, and if the D.VII had survived, it would have been very war weary to say the least. Most all of the D.VIIs brought back to the states were "factory fresh" and the latest models. I am guessing the motor may have been salvaged from the original D.VII during the war, rebuilt, and installed in another type of aircraft, and that aircraft was brought over to the states for evaluation. I'm guessing that the motor was bought surplus from the Army air corps in the 1920's from Kelly Airfield or some other Army airfield in Texas, since the motor was used in Louisiana. Best, Dave P.S. My friend's motor was from a University, and when it had become obsolete for instructional purposes, one of his old Navy buddies from the University told him to come and get it. That was in the early 1960's. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2000 19:24:20 -0500 From: "Steven M.Perry" To: Subject: Worse than Modeler's Block Message-ID: <000b01c06f9b$5c170380$67f9aec7@default> A worse affliction than the dreaded Modeler's Block is it's opposite, Modeler's Ego. Instead of dealing with a problem when it arises, sufferers of Modeler's Ego such as myself, say: "No problem I'll handle it later." And later gets there sooner than you think. My Tom's Albatros has two very nice wing radiators out of white metal. They are too thick to just stick on the wing surface and have to be let in so they sit flush. Well I got carried away painting and did my wing before I cut the holes for the radiators. "No problem" I told myself, you can just cut one later before you mount the wing. So out with the Xacto knife and with consumate skill, Mr. Ego here manages to gouge a trench across the painted and decalled top surface that would make a WWI Royal Engineer proud.

I may have to disagree a bit on this. Mercedes had made thousands of aircraft motors by this time, and they had the motor sorted out pretty well. If you read the Jane's All the World's Aircraft book, you can see the reprinted Flight magazine reports, and they speak very complimentarily about the D.IIIa. >Second, since the engineers were inexperienced with a lot of the problems involved they may have attempted to fix one problem without understanding its effect on the rest of the system. That's for sure. >Here's my theory. The engineers tried to add a little oil resivoir for each bearing. One that would be used in a sudden RPM increase. Perhaps the engineers didn't know the oil pressure would fall so dramatically? They had a little reservoir already in the design of the bearings, it's this idea of coming back and hand scraping the entire length of the bearing on both sides, about 3/8ths of an inch down, right over the machined pockets. This would allow the oil to simply go to the sides and flow out forwards and backwards out into the crankcase. If they didn't "relieve" the bearings, the oil would tend to stay in the bearing longer, and probably increase the oil going to the top of the bearing and to the passage feeding the connecting rod and piston wrist pin. There would still be the machined 45% angled "pocket" running about 7/8ths of the interior length of the bearing holding oil. >Here's my other theory: What if the engineers had a few mechanics using "artistic license" out in the shop? I've had a few technicians try to "help" me in the past with disasterous results. I can imagine a mechanic, thinking he knows better, starting to modify engines without discussing it. Possible, but in my experience, German "werkers" only do what they are told to do, and the Mercedes floor workers would have been specialized, so if the bearing guys had this idea, they would have been found out quite easily. Your ideas are good food for fodder, and may be possible. Keep your thinking caps on.

I've just finished up my second Berg using A/G, and neither one really did turn out that great. I have a feeling that the A/G decals are a bit larger than the kit loz, but it sure looks better to me. The hardest part is matching up the loz as it wraps around the skinny part of the fuselage. What I did was cut individual hexes to match, it sure was time consuming.

I bought it specifically for the Jasta 4 plane that's listed on the front. Problem is, there aren't any Jasta 4 markings on the sheet. Am I overlooking them, or has anyone else noticed this?

And I'm leaving in the morning, so I guess I'll be seeing Sharon, Alvie, Cam, and Len on thursday evening at Shields Tavern. I'll wear my PlM(fake) so's y'all can pick me out of a crowd. To everyone else, y'all have a happy new year, and may it be a very productive one. Be 'civil' while I'm gone, and please, Please, PLEASE!, no Voss cowl threads. And here's a new thread; New Years Res(v)olutions... 1) Don't buy any new kits. I have plenty to work with already. 2) Don't start any new kits. 3) Finish all(or at least some)of the projects that have been sitting on the back burners for too long. We'll see how long these last.
