Hi all,
So you know how there is no such thing as a dumb question............. strap yourselves in this is my first blog, first WW1 build, first aeroplane. I think that covers it.

Alright!  I'm on board for this one, Medic.  Got it in my stash, so I'm looking forward to following along.
Cheers,

Thanks Bud,

So I started working on the fuselage, In terms of the rigging is it easier to rig the side frames before you fix it to the floor of the assembly.

Also in the black and white photo of the instructions (really cool addition to any instruction by the way)the rigging wires have a thickening. Is this a turnbuckle in some kind of sheath. If so (just for info) is the rule of thumb any individual rigging line has a turnbuckle somewhere along it's length. Told you I was a novice.

Hello Medic,
the Fokker E. IV is a cool plane and I am happy to follow your build. I think it's a good one to start with. I hope you have fun with it!
If I were to give you a minor hint, then I'd change the direction of the woodgrain on the floor.
Best regards

Thanks guys, great advice. Just out of curiosity, do all individual rigging lines have a turnbuckle somewhere across it's length, or was there another way to get tension in the lines?
