Old German 3-views

Post by VinceC »

You may have come across old 3-views during your searches which come from an old German book "Deutsche Segelflugzeug". I was recently sent printouts of the pages, so I have scanned all 58 of them into a pdf for you to download as a reference

Go to this link, which will expire at the end of the year.

Thanks for posting this Vince. It's great to be able to look through the info on each design.....Gets the juices flowing for the next model.....after the Wunderlust.

Full marks Vince for making these drawings available to a wider audience - the Ha.III was new to me (was the fin and rudde really that small Vince ??).
Nice to see the Condors - a type that deserves to be modelled more often

Magazine 3 views of this era are often wildly inaccurate and these drawings are a great deal better - especially the plan views. However, some side views are a bit iffy.

The Mu.17 for example, is an accurate copy of the 3 view that accompanies original Akaflieg Munchen documentation - however that original 3 view[/u] is nothing like the construction drawings or the glider as it was actually built ! (I discussed the Mu17 with Martin Simons who
confirmed he didn't have access to the original drawings when he produced his book) .

The side view of the Mu.13d is decidedly off - compare with Martin Simons accurate drawing.

I was intrigued to see that the revised Goppingen Go.1 Wolf, with slots forward of the ailerons, had a totally new rudder - does anyone have a photo of this ?

These drawings are a curious collection, being dated 1941. They includes some one off types such as the Moazagotl and Fafnir 2, plus a lot of quite old types, yet more recent designs are omitted.
