Mark, have been so pre-occupied looking at your artwork I never saw your true 3D stuff. 
WOW. Nice work!
Craig, later Pfalzes are a favorite! -
A friend is building an AC Bristol f2b right now and it started me thinking, seeing that Pfalz and a Biff in my mind's eye:
Why in the world do a dropped lower wing like that?
-restricts access to that area of the fuselage for mainentance
-add't'l rigging, struts
-complicated
-less strength (?) in wing root area, that is, the combo of fuse & wing is stronger?
It's never made sense...anyone? Craig?
