Hey is this Cory? I have a book that I just ordered that I think has good structural info on the original. I forgot the silly title, something about scale WWI aircraft drawings, once I have it I'll post the title and number.

Unfortunately the info I got is pretty sparse. The book is "Scale Aircraft Drawings" Volume I, WWI ISBN: 0-911295-02-X.

It has a good 3-view of the SVA-1, with a LITTLE descriptive text, and fuselage cross sections at the various "stations." That's all it has on the SVA. Sorry!

Fortunately the Albatros and Pfalz info are not so sparse.

p.s. Corey is finishing up a Voison replica (a little bigger than 50% scale... about 60% I think) and his NEXT project is supposed to be an Ansaldo. His work on the Voison is very nice... I think the Ansaldo will be equally nice.

Be careful of that drawing as it doesn't show the fact that the left hand wings were longer to counter torque. This is stated in the text info, but a lot of people overlook this. Have a look at one of hte earlier SVA's in Italy, see http://www.bergamoestoria.org/english/index.htm for some infomation that will be of use. Look in the Aeronautical section - St. Georges Project.
