Title: Engels-TVAL Fokker E.III reproduction
Post by: KiwiZac on July 16, 2023, 07:41:02 AM
Hi team,
As the aircraft has made its press debut (keep an eye out for the latest issue of Classic Wings and the August edition of Aeroplane Monthly) here are some of the shots I got back in April of ZK-EIN:

really nice Zac, thanks for those.

That grey color is certainly interesting, I wonder if it is the fabric, color or tint of dope, or what?

Thanks Zac, your photos are always appreciated. I believe it is the only rotary-powered E.III replica flying today.

It's my pleasure!

For the time being I think you're right, but the first completed and flown Engels Eindecker is now based at my local grass field (http://nzcivair.blogspot.com/2023/05/fokker-e-iii-at-omaka.html) awaiting reassembly - in fact her engine was run again last weekend (https://www.facebook.com/tony.wytenburg/posts/pfbid02cZJ4piXerqghgjsGxXvmVrs93XScPgkxqPQrz1NELT9SUB71CbNKrNTNHsvd6GFAl) after a period of inactivity! TVAL's second example is well underway and may debut at an airshow I'm hoping to attend in November...exciting times!
