Hi all, As the Wingnut Wings RE.8 model is nearing completion, I'm researching the next model. I think six years of waiting for the Copper State kit to be released was enough. Therefore, I've decided to build the Lukgraph 3D printed version instead. Hansa-Brandenburg D.I, Serial No: 28.15 of Flik 41/J at Sesana, 4th August 1917. This particular aircraft was built by the Phönix company as one of a batch 28.01 – 28.24 ordered on the 24th of June 1916. It was powered by the Austro-Daimler 185hp 6-cylinder water-cooled in-line piston engine, 138 kW (185 hp). The aircraft was delivered to Flik 41/J on the 2nd of March 1917. On the 24th of April 1917, Chief pilot Feldpilot Oblt. Leo Bisce was injured when he crashed while landing at the Sesana airfield. After being repaired by Flep 1 at Marburg, the aircraft was returned ti Flik 41/J. On the 4th of August it again crashed at Sesana during a test flight when being flown by the Austro-Hungarian ace Linke-Crawford. It was sent to Flep 9 for repair but was too badly damaged and was written off on the 11th of September 1917. Mike
