Fokker Challenge (641/16) Ottoman Armed Forces 1916-17

Okay, I'm in. I really like these Fokkers. There were rather unique. In an age of Bi and Tri there were a few successful Mono's. The unique way to control roll...not with flaps, but with warpage of the wings. All very interesting.

From what I've been able to learn, in trying to find out more about this specific aircraft, the Turks used the E.IIIs mainly in the Middle East. As I was in the middle east on an all expenses paid tour I thought this would be a good choice.

I must make an initial disclaimer/whimper. I have a project going right now I need to finish first and then my Nephew and Niece will be coming for 2 weeks.

I'm looking forward to this project, if for no other reason then to use some tricks and techniqes I've seen recently to include one from Ron on his D.VI project.
