I all ways liked your albatros d-8 . You could d-8 any of the ww-1 planes as a what- if version . The uni-fuse was another great idea, there where a few planes that came from it, and there where a few morphed from the parkflyer pete, if i remember, the piper pawnee comes to mind first. Do you still have the d-8 albatros yet?

We originally did the Universal Fuselage as an easy to pop together fuselage you could use a number of ways … We sent our drawings to Hippo , he created his own drawing and claimed it as HIS design ..

OF, we dug into the archives all day looking for the ALB . plans … Nothing !!! We’ll keep looking … ( too much stuff in too many places )
Basically I was worried about the missing lines in the wing mount area , but most of the old scans show just a minor gap … maybe it’s not a big deal , but I always worry about a beginner builder who is not aware of the obvious solutions ...
