Related to Sensei's comments (but in a generic sense only), my take on WWI FM's......we can expect no more, and we can expect no less (the process in the end comes down to intention and beliefs).

Allow me to characterize beforehand discussions on WWI flight modeling, and frame any future debate with a question.....how insistent can we be when talking of "vegetable" aeroplanes made of wood and linen, and powered as they were by the era's tempermental engines. I look foward to hard "rules" being forwarded about the "organic" nature of things.

As personal as people's likes can be, discussing WWI flight models in anything but a "generic" sense is ultimately an execise in assumptions, that one organic example is the same as another.

The whole process of discussing WWI flight models is framed on the assumption that each variant's example is the same as the next......impossible to maintain, but ultimately the only position for moving forward in crafting "WWI flight models".

(what we can expect is no more, and what we can expect is no less)
