The stuff sold by Roll is nothing more than fly fishing tippet material (AKA monofilament fishing line). It is not wire, it is nylon monofilament! Tippet material is the very thin portion of line that you attach your fly to. It is not generally used in fly tying! This brand of Dai Riki tippet material is very limp, and very expensive. Most fly fishing tippet is very limp as it is a desirable trait when fishing your fly as it allows it to conform better to surface currents for a better presentation. Since I am an avid fly fisher, I have loads of old tippet and I do use it for rigging all of my models. However, fishing line in 0.5, 1.0, & 2.0 lb test is available at any sporting goods store for a fraction (like 1/5) of the cost. Berkeley Trilene XL is a very cheap fishing line alternative that is also very limp.

Popow's plane, 4301, with Le Rhone 120hp 7617 was not really captured. 5th October 1919 2nd Lieutnant Popow defected from bolsheviks from Toloczyn and landed on Polish 4th Eskadra in Minsk (now Belarus' capital) "on perfectly new Nieuport 24bis. Next day, after painting Polish checkerboards, plane went into action" (quotation from report of cpt. Iwaszkiewicz, pilot of 4th Eskadra). Plane was armed like SE 5a - in two guns: Vickers on fuselage and Lewis over top wing. Its second photo is on bottom the same page 20 in Militaria.

I had a lot of trouble with it >and had to scratch new struts. Also the cabanes, as Michael had said in IM >would not fit but I used them after cuting quite a bit from the vertical >members. It's a funny old world and the WWI modelling game just goes to show there are many ways to skin the proverbial cat. I had no real problems attaching the top wing, and I used a neat trick I picked up from Windsock to help. I used a bit of the Nigel method first, which is to decide which are the best struts to work with to form a firm base for the wing. I prefer to fit the cabane struts first (if possible), attach the wing and then fit the interplane struts. But it does depend on the interplane struts - where they are single piece and vertical (eg Alb DIII/V), I might fit them first. But I generally find it's easier to work on the interplanes once the cabanes are in place rather than the other way round. So having decided I would work on the cabane struts first (I felt I had no chance of getting four individual struts that are inclined inwards corect), here's the neat trick I found in Windsock. Instead of using the top wing to help alignment or using dividers to measure the distance between the struts, I cut a cardboard template of the center section of the wing. I then used dividers to exactly replicate the position of the holes for the cabanes in the cardboard template. I made holes in the cardboard template with the dividers at the appropriate points so that I had a cardboard version of the wing centre section with the cabane strut holes in it. I then attached the cabanes with polystyrene cement and used the cardboard template to set alignment. This works great - let the glue go off a little and you can move the cabanes around easily without them coming off. The weight of the cardboard is not enough to cause them to fall off as you eyeball alignment (note I had drilled out the cabane strut attachemnt points on the fuselage a bit to give a better joint). This worked great. I did get some problems - the LH cabane (looking forward from the rear) needed some plastic shaved off the rear strut to clear the exhaust pipes, and I had to bend the rear strut of the rh cabane backwards a bit. I actually took the cabanes off twice and reattached them during this frigging around, but the poly cement was no problem here. It gave good adhesion but it was easy to pop the struts off and just clean the glue off. Once I had the cabanes on properly I then flowed CA into the joints to give greater strength. A bit of paint touch up and we're done. I also had to drill out the front holes in the wing a bit more to get the wing sitting at the right angle, but once this was done I glued the wing to the cabanes. The interplane struts were then fitted - two of the kit parts fited fine (in the rear strut locations) but the other two were too short, so I scratched these from stock. Wish I'd scratched all of them, because the kit struts bulge in the middle so these look fatter than the replacements. But you wouldn't notice if I hadn't told you. Damn! I told you, now you'll spot it in the gallery. All that is left is rigging. Here's where I may go wrong. I decided to try HSP on this one, my first go at rigging with HSP.

Any sagging - one only has to hold a small soldering iron close to the line and it will get tighter. I then paint with a wash of Floquil dark grey. For the harder to reach areas - not requiring strength I use ceramic wire. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2002 10:01:46 -0300 From: "Diego Fernetti" To: Subject: RE: The Yellow Peril Strikes Again!!

I believe they have a restored DH9 down in the hanger. If you want I'll stop by and check. If it's there I'll take some digi photos, and see if they have any historical references to specific aircraft. HTH Greg Balzer Sanjeev, I'll check on the C&C while I'm down there as well. -----Original Message----- From: Rory Goodwin [mailto:rorygood@earthlink.net] Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 12:12 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [WWI] Flying Leatherneck Ninacks Jon and others may be interested to know that First Marine Aviation Force Squadron C received at least half a dozen DH9As in the last weeks of the war. There's a picture on pg. 267 of 'Wings of Honor' of E8504 in standard Brit DH bomber finish (PC10/battleship gray) but with globe & anchor fuselage cocades. Now I know how my second RPM kit will be finished... ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 4042 **********************
