[WWI] 1/6 German two seater

[Douglas Jones]

Hmmm. Building a smallish airplane! I working on a set of planes for a 
post-WWI Fokker (sorry heretical I know) which at 1/6 will have a wing 
span of 101"

I admire your drive to get the 'real' data on your chosen aircraft. I 
would suggest going through WWI Aero back issues/reference material 
catalog. I wouldn't be surprised if the very information you are looking 
for isn't there. The Aerodrome would be a good place to check as well. 
Dan-San might know the answers depending on the subject.

Good luck,
Doug
