First I must solicit your strictest confidence in this communication. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret, as you were introduced to us in confidence through the South Africa/ Togo chamber of commerce, foreign trade division, during an official assignment to Lome. We are top officials of the Directorate of Audit and Project Implementation at the Department of Minerals and Energy. In the course of our work, we have in our possession, an overdue payment in US Funds representing a certain percentage of the Contract value executed for our Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced to the tune of US$24,800,000.00 (Twenty-Four million, eight hundred thousand United States Dollars only.). The company that executed the contract has been duly paid and the contract commissioned leaving the sum of US$24.8M floating in the escrow account of the Reserve Bank of South Africa ready for payment. I have therefore been mandated as a matter of trust by my colleagues to look for an overseas partner to whom we could transfer the sum of US$24.8M by legally sub-contracting the entitlement to you or your company. This bearing in mind that our civil service code of conduct forbids us from owning foreign companies or running foreign accounts while in Government service hence the need for an overseas partner. We have agreed that the funds will be shared thus after it has been transferred into your account: (1)25% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary and recipient of the funds (2) 70% to us the Government officials(with which we wish to commence a lucrative business in conjunction with you) (3) 5% has been set aside as an abstract projection,( for reimbursement to both parties) for incidental expenses that may be incurred in the course of bringing this transaction to a successful conclusion. All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth conclusion of the transaction within ten to fourteen working days of commencement after receipt of the following information From you: Your name, address, company details and activities, telephone and fax numbers. These information will enable us make applications and lodge claims to the concerned Ministries & agencies in favour of you or your company and it is pertinent to state here that this transaction is entirely based on trust as the telegraphic transfer is going to be made in your name or your company name.

I used the wire eye on my Gotha for the fuselage wire bracers. Looks good but the eyes were such a pain to make. And on the sagging wires theme, Maybe the monofilamente was the culprit.

We had them in Sweden too, in rather a nice blue paint scheme, so it would be a fairly good seller here too.

First report: The top wing was sanded smooth to get rid of the ribs that will be instated later on with decal strips. The ailerons were scored along the hinge and can now be bent at will. The section of the wing to be covered in celon was cut off too. Plan A calls for reinstalling the LE with a Bamboo strip. After that the centre rib (also bamboo) will be glued between the LE and the very thin "spar" that was left above the wing cut out. The rib will be larger in profile than the wing profile, so that when absolutely dry it can then be sanded to shape, with the rest of the wing acting as a guide for the sanding block, stick, whatever. This will try tomorrow since today OI forgot to bring the plans to work to photocopy them and they are an absolute must for this delicate operation. The engine was dremelled out ot the cowling and the cowling walls thinned to paper thickness. So far that's about all and I enjoyed a very nice modelling evening.

Why is this ? Earlier (and all Austrian) have in the center. Later have on the side, in order to keep hot water out of pilots face in case of leak (for example bullet-induced leak). Some tropical ones had two radiators, I don't know if D.III or D.V or both.

Why is this ? > I hope this message comes through, as I惴 experiencing serious connection problems for the last week (reason: My ISP has announced another "server upgrade" - they do this every 6 months, and then you are downgraded for one week for this upgrade...). Two reasons are usually given for the switch to the the offset radiator from Albatros D III 2200/16 onwards: 1. To protect the pilot from hot water spraying into his face after the radiator developed a leak or was holed in combat. While sounding sensible, this is to the best of my knowledge not supported by original data and therefore more probably a post war "invention". 2. to improve the field of view due to the deletion of the radiator and the pipes in the direct forward field of view of the pilot. This IS supported by some contemporary data and therefore the more realistic reason. Again, not that the change was from 2200/16 onward - some sources name 2200/17, but that is definitely incorrect. Only the first 290 Johannishal build D III愀 (and all AH Oeffag build) had the central radiator, the balance 210 Johannisthal build and all 840 Schweidnitz (OAW) build D III had the offset radiator. 2200/16 was in the first Alb (Johannisthal) series, 2200/17 actually was in the second *D V* series and not a D III at all. As an additional, interesting note I found a remark on the first 4 Alb D III with the offset radiator that were delivered to Jasta 24. The War Diary of Jasta 24 notes that these aircraft had a tendency of "Rechtslaengen" - pulling to the right. This was obviously caused by the aerodynamic and weight effects of the offset radiator, showing how delicate these early craft actually handled.

Am I correct? I cannot find them on the Rosemont Hobby site. Anyone know where I can locate these?

Message-ID: <000701c28678$01ab5b80$f82d8b41@i7e2z6> Me again. Once more the list comes through in a "pinche." Diego, you are right - we use pinche for just about every and all occasions, the meaning is spot on. I'm building a Hobbycraft SPAD, and have a couple of questions........1. what size rigging wire would anyone suggest for this scale (1/32)?........2. What ratio would you use to scale up decals from 1/48 to 1/32?

I have tried a foot pedal for this > and it works, but not as easliy as a mark on dimmer would!!! Sure! The dimmer switch in your wall is designed to fit into a metal box that also sits in your wall. A standard on/off switch is designed to do the same. Those standard electrical outlets you have fit the same size boxes. So, what you need is a box that's big enough for two 'devices' (like those used when you have two on/off switches sitting side by side in your wall). The box itself will probably cost you a couple bucks. Then you need a dimmer switch (a few bucks) and an electrical plug (a couple bucks). If you're unfamiliar with the wiring of these items I'd recommend you get a basic home electricity book as everything is covered in those books. Simple really. -- Cheers --- Larry ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 4760 **********************
