Hello, I'm currently gathering info on the SSW D.IV for the purpose of developing a set of working drawings for a 1/4 scale RC version. I've had some success in finding info on the D.IV, but would still like to gather more actual construction information on the real aircraft if possible.
Does anyone happen to know whether the plywood fuselage planking was butt joined or loverlaped at the joints? Some photos appear to show overlapping, some butt joints. Can anybody help? Thanks....Paul |

Hi Paul. You can get a set of plans from Dick Bennett. They are the same as the ones in the Data file except he also has a lot of notes to go with them. The plywood skins are scarfed when joined over the bulkheads (ie. end to end) but I think they are butt joints when joined over the longerons.
