Fokker EIII Eindecker Drawings

[Major Larabee]

Anybody know of a source of good fokker eindecker drawings, full size and acurate?

Windsock Data File is pretty good for pictures and has some small scale drawings.

Proctor Enterprise make a E.III 1/4 scale model and might sell the plans separately. Arizona Models do several scale E.III’s (1/3, 1/4 and 1/6) and plans can be purchased separately.

you can order a set of drawings from the National Air and Space Museum

The drawings of the various aircraft vary in level of detail. I have no way of knowing how accurate any of them are. I purchase several, including the Fok E.III drawing, which has a fair bit of detail... at least what is suitable for building a model!

DId you check here ?

Major,
Something to dogfight the BE-2??
You might try to contact the San Diego Aerospace Museum, they built a replica a few years ago, although I don't know if they'll sell their info.

Hi,
A few years ago I searched for drawings for a full-scale Fokker E.III (or similar type) landing gear. I contacted the San Diego Museum and they didn't have drawings available. I did buy the Proctor drawings, which are nice for a 1/4-scale model, but didn't include enough detail for a full-scale landing gear.

I am curious to know if the NASM drawings are simply three-view general arrangements drawings or full-blown construction drawings.

I'd also like to know if the Fokker Team's Fokker E.III CD includes drawings (with at least enough info to build a LG from).

Chuck Wentworth recently built a beautiful Eindecker...Does anyone know what drawings he used?

Thanks,

Much more detail than simple three-view. I think there are two sheets with that set. Interesting comments and details... but I think you would need way more to build the real thing! But I think the drawing set is still worth $3.50+S&H easily!

I'd also like to know if the Fokker Team's Fokker E.III CD includes drawings (with at least enough info to build a LG from).

No drawings... but plenty enough pics of San Diego replica... everything you can see with it's clothes on!

Thanks all, Bald eagle how did you guess!!!!! dont tell Steve! better get BE2 flying first but no harm in gathering the info.

Thanks for the tips 67ccMustang...just one last question. Are the NASM drawings the same ones that were done by Joseph Nieto? They appear to be very nicely done.

Thanks again,
