that is a link. just click on the underlined words in my last post. it will link you to the whole thread.

post #42 has the most thorough list.

if you mean current as is showing all the owner registrations, etc., there are links to sources for obtaining such info mentioned on that thread as well.

Didn't notice this thread at first, or else I'd have proudly jumped in:

Fokker E-III
Full scale
Built from Joe Nieto drawings, with some small details acquired from archives at Fokker AG
Alternating power sources:1) Modified Oberursel replica, built from scratch with a buddy of mine in his machine shop 2) Modified 1970 1.7 litre Porsche
914 engine, significantly geared down. The former I prefer, but it is much higher maintenance than the latter. Nice thing is, they switch out in about 45 minutes.
Prefer not to give reg #
Dove grey in color
At top speed (~90), buzzes like your flying a nest of hornets

Sorry, I don't remember your other Q's. She's currently hangared for the winter, as well as for some repairs from a hiccup on the ground that damaged her tail. I've wanted to post pix of her for some time, but I use a Mac, and have not been able to get it to do so, by conventional means or by e-mailing pix for someone else to post. Working on that.

Thanks... this is great.

Well the poll seems to be moving along well. Thank you to all who have responded so far... and a double thanks to those brave souls who provided comments on their projects.

As always though I would like more data... so... if you are contemplating a project, building something, flying something, or just like to dream about something... tell us about it!

Thanks again!

wow, we seem to have hit a flat spot in the poll returns... been stuck on 45 poll responses for the last few days.

Please, if you haven't taken the poll, please do so. And if you haven't told us about your project, please do that also.

Thanks again.

Rob, do you realize just how significant that number is? There probably aren't more than 200-300 or so WWI projects currently under construction in the world. It just isn't a common thing to find. To hear from so many of those replica builders on one internet forum is pretty impressive.

Brad,
Last year I got 68 responses...

Granted... we had a bit of a falling out of sorts late last fall, but I didn't think we lost so many...
