Hi everyone,

Thanks for the comments and help. As I've studied the plans and info I've accumulated I've realized that the Datafile plans have the early "B" fuselage (like the Arizona models website plans) and the late "G" tailplane. So I believe what I'll do is build one of both using pictures as references, the early B.1092/14 with two 100hp Mercedes D.I engines and the later G.9/15 with two 150hp Benz.III engines. If memory serves me correctly G.9/15 was rebuilt after a crash and the fuselage was placed on the lower wings which lead to the development of the G.II, G.III, G.IV, etc.

Doug, thank you for posting the turtledeck pic. That is one more layout that I hadn't seen. Feel free to post or PM me anything you think might help me. I'll be posting more as I work on it.

Everyone, please accept my sincerest thanks and appreciation. This will be fun.

Mark
