Hi everybody

I just started to built a fokker EIII from Graupner.

Does anybody here have information, advice ....anything on the fokker EIII rcplane ?

Thanks
Fred

Do you mean Fokker EIII in general or Graupner's EIII?

If generally, there's no shortage of cool stuff. If Graupner's, sorry, I can't help. I know less than you!

OK, you're asking the easy questions.

Start with this summary page and then go back to the start for construction photos and details: http://www.airfieldmodels.com/galler...e1/summary.htm

Here are pics of the one and only surviving EIII in the world: http://www.wwi-models.org/Photos/Ger...III/index.html

Ya still want more?????

Check this out: http://www.collectors-edition.de/QAU...-6_english.htm

When you are finished all that, check out cellon covering and the EIII that used it. It's like clear, transparent Monokote - no colour. They just glued it on, much the same way as Monokote!! No rib stitching, no sewing. And it's scale!!

Get a hold of the April, 2006 issue of the Brit magazine RC Model World. There is an excellent article by a chap who did the Proctor EIII this way, with superb detail photos of the interior work and the servo placement.

This stuff is all just a quick web search away. But I hope this list of sites makes it easier for you.

Cheers!

DO335 has a stack of relevent links for all sorts of things. You ask him for the weather, he gives it by region, time, and forcasts the next week.

I like it!!!

That's what happens when you've been at this stuff for almost 50 years and you are into full scale as well - pilot, aircraft owner, cross continent flyer and all that great stuff.

After a while, a bit of it all begins to stick!

Hi DO335

I just had a look on the different sites and they looked really interesting. It was all i need !!

The easiest way to get a copy of the magazine is to contact TRaplett Publications over the web and order it up.

In their section for RC Model World, you will even probably fing the cover of that issue with the Eindecker on it.

I couldn't find the magazine locally - they seem to have skipped getting April '06 delivered. Traplett got it to me in about a week.
