Rumaging through some old files...
Oh my! As most of you know I have been busy with a new website (...see "X-marks the spot" on this forum.) Well it was inevitable that I would come across some old builds from the the 1980's & early 90's. I thought that you all might get a kick out of some of these... The Phony Pfokker E.V. was touted as the last of the war time Pfokker’s its characteristics were unmistakable. Some of the equipment will be recognizable as many of its innovations are still in use today. Ahead of its time the E.V was misunderstood, but in the hands of a good pilot it would have done well except for the single draw back that all front line example tended to catch fire mysteriously for no apparent reason while in flight. The problem was seemingly rectified when the motor was removed for Carnival Kiddy Car duties.

Next is Phony Pfokker Fir.I, Flown by Oberkellner Max von Rickets, third cousin to the infamous Bloody Baron. Known affectionately as the ‘Flying Blue Carbuncle’ by his fellow members of Jasta 44DD is probably the least famous of all German pilots from this time. His combat record shows 27 aircraft brought down and destroyed. Unfortunately he was flying all of them at the time. During a 1919 Trans - Channel flight he was lost. In 1989 a bottle was found floating in the Indian Ocean saying that he was alive and well in Buenos Aires and awaiting rescue. Submitted with tongue firmly in cheek.

All I can say is wow! Mr. Lawson, I had no idea you would ever build a "what-if" german quadriplane. I am very impressed sir! The Rickenbacker bust was really cool too. Thanks for posting your pics and best of luck in your new venture.
