Fokker DRI and DVI length dimensions
Someone suggested that the DVI is roughly a 1/2 meter longer than the DR1. I knew the DVI was longer but I didn't realize it was that much longer. I have been using the following length dimensions -
Fokker DRI - 5770 mm (Aldershof dwg, dated Nov. 1917) Fokker DVI - 5776 mm (German 3-view, dated July 1918) I appreciate any comments... |

FWIW, Fokker Aircraft of World War One by Paul Leaman gives the following length specifications:
Fokker Dr.I - 5770 mm
Fokker D.VI - 6230 mm

Thanks for the info TomVrille. Well, I did some digging into my reference material and yes there are two D6 lengths. One for production and the other was a Idflieg length, which is the longer of the two. As a new vertical support was added at 2300mm (right behind the pilot seat). This moved everything back. If you have WW1 Aero issues 85 and 86 you can find some supporting data.
