    ELECTRIC 60-INCH WINGSPAN NEUPORT 17 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Entire contents Copyright 2014 Maxford USA Congratulations on your purchase of Maxford USA’s scale WWI Nieuport 17 ! We invite you to enjoy the pride of ownership and the joy of flying this high quality balsa, composite, and light-ply Almost-Ready-to-Fly aircraft. TABLE OF CONTENTS History of the Nieuport 17 ............ .........................2 Important safety precautions .................................. 2 Parts List ............................................................ 5 Warranty, liability waiver, and return policy ......... 4 Assembly instructions ...................................... 6 Special features of this Nieuport 17 ARF .............. 5 Setup and adjustments .................................... 16 Specifications ......................................................... 5 Preflight checks ............................................. 17 Page 1 of 18 HISTORY The Nieuport 17 was a French biplane fighter aircraft of World War I, manufactured by the Nieuport company. It had outstanding maneuverability, and an excellent rate of climb. Initially, the Nieuport 17 retained the above wing mounted Lewis gun of the "11", but in French service this was soon replaced by a synchronized Vickers gun. In the Royal Flying Corps, the wing mounted Lewis was usually retained, by now on the improved Foster mounting, a curved metal rail which allowed the pilot to bring the gun down in order to change drums or clear jams. A few individual aircraft were fitted with both guns - but in practice this reduced performance unacceptably, and a single machine gun remained standard. The type reached the French front in March 1916, and quickly began to replace the smaller Nieuport 11 and 16 in French service. The type went into service with Escadrille N.57 on May 2, 1916. With the British DH.2 the Nieuports were responsible for ending the reign of the Fokker Eindecker - the so-called 'Fokker scourge' period, proving a severe shock to German aviation high command.

  • Our Canadian Aerospace Industry: Towards a Second Century of History-Making
    Our Canadian Aerospace Industry: Towards a Second Century of History-making Presentation by Robert E. Brown President and Chief Executive Officer CAE Inc. Before the AIAC 47th Annual General Meeting and Conference Wednesday, September 17, 2008 Page 1 Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is a pleasure for me to be here today and acknowledge the presence of so many friends and business partners. Next year, Canada will mark the 100th anniversary of the first airplane flight over our land. In February 1909, a pioneer by the name of J.A.D. McCurdy took to the sky in a frail-looking biplane called the Silver Dart. Young McCurdy and Canada’s tiny aviation community never looked back, and as a result, their daring achievement led to the development of a whole new industry — our own aerospace industry. How did a country with a population of 7 million in the early 20th century become the fourth nation in the world in the field of aerospace? How did Montreal become the only place in the world where you can build an entire aircraft? How did we manage to attract, develop and hang on to global leaders like Bell Helicopter Textron, Pratt & Whitney Canada and Bombardier? And, closer to my own heart, how did an enterprise like CAE become a world leader in civil simulation, with more than 70% of the market? How can a country as small as Canada, have such a glorious jewel in its crown? To find the answers to these questions, one must go back in time. Shortly after McCurdy’s groundbreaking flight, World War 1 saw Canada’s aviation industry take off.

    THE NAZI BLOOD PURGE OF 1934 APPRCWBD": \r H M^jor Professor 7 lOLi Minor Professor •n p-Kairman of the DeparCTieflat. of History / cr^LtxJ~<2^ Dean oiTKe Graduate School IV Burkholder, Vaughn, The Nazi Blood Purge of 1934. Master of Arts, History, August, 1972, 147 pp., appendix, bibliography, 160 titles. This thesis deals with the problem of determining the reasons behind the purge conducted by various high officials in the Nazi regime on June 30-July 2, 1934. Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goring, SS leader Heinrich Himmler, and others used the purge to eliminate a sizable and influential segment of the SA leadership, under the pretext that this group was planning a coup against the Hitler regime. Also eliminated during the purge were sundry political opponents and personal rivals. Therefore, to explain Hitler's actions, one must determine whether or not there was a planned putsch against him at that time. Although party and official government documents relating to the purge were ordered destroyed by Hermann GcTring, certain materials in this category were used. Especially helpful were the Nuremberg trial records; Documents on British Foreign Policy, 1919-1939; Documents on German Foreign Policy, 1918-1945; and Foreign Relations of the United States, Diplomatic Papers, 1934. Also, first-hand accounts, contem- porary reports and essays, and analytical reports of a /1J-14 secondary nature were used in researching this topic. Many memoirs, written by people in a position to observe these events, were used as well as the reports of the American, British, and French ambassadors in the German capital.

  • Mikes WW1 Aircraft Models FOKKER D.VII
    FOKKER D.VII Mikes WW1 Aircraft Models I have always held a fascination with early military aircraft. After serving for 27 years in the Royal Air Force, I became a Military Aerospace Technical Author. Although, as most modelers, I got involved in the world of construction kits at an early age, I stopped for most of my service career and for some years afterwards. I started modeling again a few years ago and now enjoy the challenge of building aircraft of World War One. Since posting photographs of my completed models online, several people have asked if I would create a ’build log’ for future builds. I don’t consider myself a ‘master’ of this craft, but hope to be able to pass on what I have learned. As such, here is the tenth build log, which covers my build of the Wingnut Wings 1:32 scale model of the Fokker D.VII (Albatros built) ‘Nickchen IV’, Serial No.817/18 operating with Jasta 53 during August 1918 and flown by Offizierstellvertreter Fritz Blumenthal.

Green: William Faulkner’s Flight Training in Canada WILLIAM FAULKNER'S FLIGHT TRAINING IN CANADA by A. Wigfall Green “I created a cosmos of my own,” William Faulkner said to Jean Stein in New York in midwinter just after 1956 had emerged. “I like to think of the world I created as being a kind of key­ stone in the Universe.” He was speaking, obviously, of the small world of his fiction which reflected in miniature the great world of fact. “The reason I don’t like interviews,” he said, turning from his novels to himself, “is that I seem to react violently to personal questions. If the questions are about the work, I try to answer diem. When they are about me, I may answer or I may not, but even if I do, if the same question is asked tomorrow, the answer may be different.”1 And he might have said more: that he as mythmaker enjoyed deluding the public concerning his entire background.
