Just incase anyone else wanted some reference on these aircraft...I found a good site!

http://www.theaerodrome.com/

It seems to have all the major types of WWI fighters and bombers plus some statistics.

I think as far as making FM's go...you find out how much horsepower, the power and wingloading, weight, and a bunch of other things and plug them in and see where you get. Some anecdotal evidence ontop of that and you're probably good to go.

The one advantage is that fewer people know about reputations of WWI aircraft...none of them are really as iconic as the Spitfire and 109 (although the Sopwith Camel and Fokker Dr.I seem to be close).

The other thing being that I've seen a few of these types in the air and recently! The Brantford Ontario WWI Flying Club (not sure if thats the full official name) maintains and flies replica WWI aircraft (I forget which ones). There must be enough documents for them to get off the ground and fly the bloody things...

I think its not going to be a huge problem.
