| Brian, it was a tight fit, but don't remember making any modifications to the manifold in getting it to fit through. |

| At my daughter's place over T-giving (St. Charles): I can still see the damage done by the storm when driving down from Rockford to Hwy 64. |

| Early models did, but pilots often removed the spinner, since it was prone to falling off in flight. Later models introduced a new rounded nose that eliminated the spinner. |

| it's a beautiful build. i'm building one now, did some of the albatros's have spinners and some not? wishing you improved health. happy holidays! |

| Have not posted any new builds on V.A. since I gave up the model building due to health reasons. I miss it ! |

| Thanks Brian for your interest in my Dumas Albatros. After trying softer materials, I ended up using pine. Cut out a plug; roughly shaped it on disk sander; centered a screw in plug; chucked in drill press, and finished shaping with wood rasp, file, and sandpaper. Cut slot for prop with Dremel tool. |

| dale how did you come about your spinner? did you make it out of balsa or did you use it from a plastic one? thank you brian. |

| Dale sad to hear about the damage. I have had family living in Rochelle in the past (and maybe some still there) and visited often. I'm a former resident of Rockford. |

| Dale, The power of Mother Nature is endless. Especially when her wrath destroys what we call home. I am very happy that you and yours have dodged this meteorological bullet and empathize with your neighbors which have not! |

| My hometown of Rochelle, Illinois has been in the news lately with an EF-4 category tornado; over 30 homes destroyed. Nearby town was completely wiped out. I had no damage. Been out helping with the clean-up. |

| Nice work! I like the engine. |

| Thanks for your comments. My wife is not sold on the colors, maybe for Easter eggs. Had to point out that early German aircraft were very colorful. (like the lozenge camouflage on the underside of wings of my RC Albatros which is made up of light and dark green, yellow, purple, and blue colors). |
