...an SE5A? I've finally decided to bite the bullet and start adding flying wires to my kits... The SE5A kit is a Revell- last made in the 70s, I spent months tracking one down and I'd like to do it justice.

Can anyone (with a scanner) help me???

Cheers

I have a nice book called "British Military Aircraft of World War One" Subtitled "The Official Technical and Rigging Notes for RFC and RNAS Fighting and Training Aeroplanes, 1914-18"

It was published by Arms & Armour Press in 1976 in conjunction with the RAF Museum.

You could try and get it from a library or, because I don't have a scanner at home but have one at work, I could get you the 5 or 6 pages which you want but I wouldn't be able to get them to you until next week.

Hey, Gordon- it's OK mate- I don't want to put anyone out! I'll have a look in the Library, and someone else has Emailed me saying they have a scanned diagram on their macine.

Thanks again.

The RAF Museum in England published a book entitled "British Military Aircraft of World War One" which has "technical and rigging notes for RFC and RNAS fighting and Training aeroplanes, 1914 - 1918". It has thirten page section beginning on page 201 that includes four pages of three view drawings showing the location and rigging of all flying and landing wires. It also has a tabulated drawing of the wires with theit length. I believe they have a web site. Hope this info will be of some help. Frank
