Hello,

Here are some images of the Engine that "Wulffo" bought in Germany. This engine will power the Fokker D.VII we are building for him.

It was overhauled by Daimler some years ago and was well stored. Unfortunately no papers are available of that overhauling. Wulffo took the engine to England now where it is once more overhauled to airworthiness. The paperwork created by this will be an essential point during the procedure of obtaining the German air traffic certificate which is intended for this aircraft.

Here are the images!

By the way: We are still looking for a second D III or a BMW IIIa engine. Do not hesitate to make any offers. The same goes for other original Parts that are useful for such a D.VII project. You can either contact me or Wulffo.

Just some images of the design of Max Friz, the BMW IIIa, as well.

The special high altitude carburetor designed by Friz enabled the engine to keep the power output at 185 PS without reduction up to a height of 2000m.

All the best

Achim
