Nick!
> Diego, thanks for the lesson.
Oh well, don't take me as a teacher, please! Just to show you how wide is
the choice for those wanting to build a WW1 airplane. Many times, aviation
in the WW1 period is thought as a time of badly designed, rustic crates
(dogboxes too!), and while I love the Vulture Squadron cartoons too, these
portrayals have skewed our perception of what an amazing technical
achievement was aviation in those years, and how the experimentation lead to
later developments, some decades after they were first tried for warring
purposes.
Some were so innovative that were dead ends almost as soon as they flew,
like the Dufaux fighter, the DeBruyere canard, the Supermarine bomber, the
Ursinus Seaplane... I'll let you search for these! BTW I've seen models of
them all. Blame it to Joel and Gabriel Stern.
