You have to be careful here! When someone spends countless hours of their precious spare time and thousands of dollars on their baby, only to have it called a joke. It may not be well received!
That person making the observation may have a masters degree in WWI aircraft history, but he reduces himself to nothing more than a heckler if the criticism isn't done tactfully!

i think we are looking at a cultural divide here, and in more than one way.

Fokker Dr.I Drawings
Hello,

While it is true that original Fokker Dr.I Triplane drawings seem to be rare and few (early wing drawings indeed DO exist!!!), some of us are making a good effort to produce drawings of high accuracy. Attached here are a few 'low-resolution' examples of my Triplane wing drawings that welcome comments from you Forum viewers. These drawings (except for the attached dimension detail rib drawing) only show the general plan view for each wing. Their accompanying dimension detail drawings are not included here, but you get an idea of their accuracy.

Again, comments are welcome.

Regards, Gary Sewall
