Hei Knut Erik, those dimensions match the Fokker Typen table. I¹m using a
Dr1 top wing for the rear top wing, at 6.725m, and 6.04 for all the others-
based on the DR1 middle wing.
regards
Steve

Hei,
Fokker Flugzeugwerke in Deutschland 1912-1921 by Grosz & Koos
has the usual picture (small, but high quality).
Span 7.70m
Length 6.80m
Height 2.80m¨

STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Thanks Robert. I’ve modelled the thing in 3D
and attempted to cast the same shadows to get a feel for the wing spans.
I’ve finished up with the top front wing longer than the rear top,
which is not how the 3-views in WW1 Aero show it, but it does tie up with
the span in the Fokker Typen table, so I have my own version of the 3-view
now, and that’s how I’m building it.<BR>
