As in the case of the Caudron R.XI, the best drawings are yet to be done or 
discovered... There seems to be many variants and according to a few 
drawings I've seen, they are just like the proverbial curate's egg: "good, 
in parts" I wonder if there is some French drawings of the extant Voisin. Or 
if the restorers at Brussels are making plans from their Voisin wreck.

There are what seems to be good drawings of the Voisin, if a bit schematic 
and not at all definitive. At least they provide some sharp-eyed text and 
sketches about rigging, shapes and such. It's a seed for a future datafile 
special, I daresay.
