Hi Vern, Thanks. Your model is going to look pretty cool in the air. I am hoping the Aviatik project will not drag on like my others. I think I'll have it done in a few months.

I am working on the tail skid today. The photo's of the 30.40 do not show this detail clearly but It seems that all the other fighter prototypes and the D1 used the same type tail skid and method. This is a photo of the D1 at the Vienna Technical Museum. I will make my tail skid in a similar way in regard to how the bungee works. Sorry the photo isn't more clear.

hallo john,
i looked a bit through my files. it appears that the tailskid was at least very simmilar on all aviatik types. they was very methodical. could be that the fin was adapted a bit on different types but the skid itself and the way it was attachd was the same.
see enclosed sketch. it is for the type 37 twoseater but was interchangable with 38.


cheers

Koloman thanks so much. Believe it or not I was just about to ask you if you had any photo's or drawings that show this. Looking at the D1 in the Vienna Technical Museum photo's it seems that there is a metal plate or access panel in the tail skid fin and the bungee somehow also attaches inside of it? Cheers.

John

Hi Dale, Wish I could guarantee that. First I have to get it in the air. Then again, I still have two others to get in the air. Oh well, time goes on.
