This new movie is going to be available by the end of the month.

Here is a short low quality trailer to download.

It shows how a Fokker E.III reproduction wing rib is loadtested to destruction. Semiliar, but more detailed movies with better detail shots will follow that show the very same tests done with D.VII, C.I and Dr.I wing ribs.

At present another movie is prepared that will show how the engine bearers and center cabane tripod is welded into an Fokker D.VII fuselage.

Other movies to come will show how wing ribs are being build or fuselages are load tested......and much more on the list to do :-)

Enjoy!
