The project work we did on the Albatros was mostly conservation based, and involved refurbishing the existing equipment and parts. Most of the actual connections between the engine and the airframe systems are missing from the AWM aircraft, and we did not attempt to produce these parts due to lack of accurate reference. Some detailed photographs of the remaining aircraft systems will be posted on the blog in the next few months. Let us know if there are any images that are of particular interest. Regards John White Hi Joseph,

I have a fair amount of research on it. But, I have been frustrated in finding any information on the layout and location of the electrical wiring, fuel/oil/grease lines , and engine controls in the cockpit area forward to the engine, as well as exactly how the fuel/oil tanks and ammo tanks are mounted to the airframe. I have the Mikesh book and a bit of contact with Smitsonian on their DVa but I can't find these details to date. Has your team made any diagrams or photos of these details you could share with me ? Thanks much and very nice work in the photos on your Albatros. Joseph Lieuallen Hello,
