OEFFAG Albatros DIII / Mayrhofer Fritsch News

[yakhiasi]

Good morning from Austria,

 

just wanted to keep up with the project news:

 

We are just working on the certification now of the Albatros,

it will be made under supervision of the OUV in Germany together

with the LBA (Luftfahrtbundesamt)

 

I am just sitting on a pack of reports, restricitions and

the latest European Certification Standard book (428 pages)

which tells us how to built the Albatros

...

Even with the Instruments what to have inside....

and a fuel flow meter for the fuel

 

ok enough to laugh !!

 

I will now start with the aircraft and pilot handbook,

therefore i got nice books which i guess you know:

one is very good : From Bleriot to Spitfire (from the Shuttleworth Collection)

1977 and how to fly them...

 

Much paperwork, but hopefully there are some backdoors

and friends in all aviation histories who welcome

those planes to see them in the air again!

 

Folks a special question to you:

i would like to use for the cover of the handbook

and some papers the gif drawing of mr. v. Hochmuth´s

Albatros which you can find in the internet...

(http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww1/f/175/175/2/19)

does anyone know where i an get the contact with him to get

a copyright for using now on the Real Albatros ´s handbooks?

 

Or does anyone of you have such 2d or 3d jpgs or gifs

of our 253.24 Albatros?

 

Thank you in advantage,

pictures will come soon hopefully also videos

of a new Engine Testrun beside Mr. Mayrhofer´s

finished 2nd static Albatros

 

Matthias!

Hey, Mathias

If you only make some copies for your own use on this Albatros, you wouldn't need copyrights.

Only when you intend to get a larger print job done.

You can contact the webmaster of the Wings Palette site (mail-address is usually bottom, right).

 

I'm not so sure about the type style used for the number on the side. It looks like Gill Sans, and

I wonder, if that type should have been in use so early?

Thank you initially for the info..

 

Well the Handbooks and Operating Manuals will be used privat!

I just try to locate also a 3 side view drawing of OEFFAG

Albatros, o do have original side drawings, but maybe someone has

done that so far to save me time....

 

Ill try to contact wings palette webmaster for the

Copyright fact, lets have a look what he says!

 

But anyhow, a nice 3D animated

Albatros gif would be top !

 

So far

 

Matthias :-)

Matthias - being a graphic designer, I can offer you this:

 

Send me some well made photographs (digital) of the craft from various angles (also from a little higher than the standing craft).

I could then make a collage of that craft in Photoshop, pretending it was flying. If that's what you want, I could PM you my mail

address for the pictures. I would do it for free.

Olham, you could make the skin for the OAW D.III and use it in OFF. Maybe take some shots of it, and then blend the photo to get the look of the OEFFAG D.III. The obvious difference is in the nose, but it would be a pretty good rendition as it has an almost identical look, tail and all.

 

If you need some help, just ask me. But I think it can be done.

 

Matthais, I'd love to see some photos as well. I'm very curious to see the wing camo patterns and colors. It was something we really worked hard on in OFF, and I was hoping to see how you guys approached the look of the OEFFAG.

 

All the best,

 

OvS

Wow

 

thank you so much for the help, will pm for your email olham,

 

in the meanwhile here were pics from Albatros Nr 1 which was now standing 2 years in a museum near vienna,

this one is the plane of Mr. Mayrhofer.

They removed it from the Exhibition last week, the colour of the birch ply got now very nice altered colours,

see here some pics:

(c from Mr. Mayrhofer)

 

and also a video of 253.01 and its way to built (german speaking doku)

hopefully it works if not here is the youtube link:

Looking forward to the pics, Matthias

Maybe one idea, to get to some good pics, OvS - I'll see what I can do.

 

Pol had an Oeffag DIII shown recently. So, if he has a model, I could send him the skin?
