This is looking so beautiful.
A truly magnificent model.

That pesky gas tank...

And your likelihood of crashing might be compounded by the controls. If I remember correctly (don’t trust my memory completely on this please!) these had the confusing original Nieuport reversed controls, where the stick was for elevator and rudder, and the pedals were for roll control by wing-warping, since that required the strength of the pilot’s legs. |

I was thinking more like having the gas tank being ignited by enemy fire will still in the air.
Either scenario is terrifying. |

As you well know that is great work.
So even that early the Nieuport tail was evident. I don't think they knew much about aeronautics then so I guess this is just what worked. That tail was a Nieuport standard until like the -24bis or the -27. MS

Michael I think you are wrong. Alreadty in this period the constructors had a lot of knowledgfe about aerodynamics and for example they used wind tunnels. Early Nieuport's had the rudder only. Nieuport 27 had aready fin stabilizer with rudder. Regards, Dick |

Mea Culpa. Yes even the Wrights used a wind tunnel.
I always wondered how you would test a heliokopter in a wind tunnel!!
