So colors are more vibrant and contrast is a bit higher. This can also be accentuated by developing Fuji film at a Kodak plant. Fuji is great if you want your photos of fuchsias to really pop out, but for trying to capture accurate colors, go Kodak. In fact, for film I'd go Kodak slide film. You can get a very decent slide scanner for around $250 or so these days, and slides are much more true to the original.

That is with the aircraft in the normal ground sitting position how big of a hangar do you need. In the case of height, to the top of the vertical fin, unless like in the case of a biplane the top wing is the highest point. The propellers aren't normally counted because you can turn them to a lower position. Can't do that with a fixed surface. But then you may often see an "engineering" picture with the aircraft raised to an in-flight level position with the tail up on a saw horse. Now you get a projected dimensions equal to the actual length of the airplane , but you get the tail higher than you will ever get it in any other configuration. Simple answer to the highest fixed point on the airplane in a at rest position. That determines the hangar dimensions.

So colors are more vibrant and contrast is a bit higher. That's why I like Reala for record photos & portraits.

These panels were made up of this strips of Tulip wood laid out in a fashion similar to that used in Pfalz aircraft. That is one layer laid out at a 45 degree angle, a layer of cloth and then a second layer of wood stripos laid at 90 degrees to the first layer. For strength, water proofing and to avoid splintering a layer of cloth was laid over the outside surface of the finished panels. Even the inspection hole covers were wood.

Probably both of them taken > along the axis line of the aircraft fuselage. Um, yerrssss. But which axis? That *I* know of, we have Fuselage centre line Fuselage datum Thrust line ....all of which may vary depending on who is defining them. Then we have length over ground (in standing or in flight position) both depending on who is defining them too. And then we have the question of whether the length includes or excludes things like lights, spinners, static wicks (not OT though!) or not, and whether they include the rudder made at factory "X" which was a slightly rounder shape than that from "Y" and thereby a couple of inches/centimetres longer and so on.... Width too. Do *you* know whether the dimension you read is actually measured in correctly rigged position, or whether it's the sum of the length of two wings plus one centre section, taken from manufacturers drawings, and doesn't account for foreshortening by the dihedral? Biggest can of worms ever. I had a knockdown dragout snail mail argument with a magazine editor once, over reviews which decried the accuracy of models which were out by a millimetre or so, on the basis of dimensions taken from "The Boys Own Book of Nifty Aeroplanes" or another reference of similar reputation. I thought I lost, but the reviews changed.....eventually. Incidentally, the near impossibility of finding a reference which *does* tell you exactly how a quoted measurement was made has given me cause to cock an eyebrow at modellers who declare certain drawings to be inaccurately scaled because they don't match the published dimensions. *Which* published dimensions? How measured? Large discrepancies are one thing - but .......

Message-ID: <20020116023912.NRPG3508.priv-edtnes16-hme0.telusplanet.net@ray> Warren, whilst you're there you can then solve the Machine Gunners on the grassy noll and the red triplane problem (dont forget to take a snip of the fabric btw) then stay around for a year or two and solve the problem with Udets DVII, buy shares in Mercedes and BMW just after the war ends. Of course another thing to do would be to buy up a DH5, Fokker DR1, Sopwith Dolphin, and store them in a deep deep cave somewhere in the Australian outback or the far north of Canada Say Prince Rupert for example......
