As for the V Deck, that is for inline engines (using the tool file). I might be swayed to go with the V Deck, until I can find more evidence of its flying characteristics. I have the Over the Front issue coming to me that has an article on the Ponnier - hoping it has more information!

The V Deck seems to be a J Deck modified, and according to the guide a J Deck is for inline engines. The Ponnier used the 9 cylinder Le Rhone and other planes using that engine are all over the map for maneuver decks. I need to find more details on how the Ponnier actual flew as opposed to Nungesser's dismissive experience.

Success indeed, and yes, take two! I have the AK German colors set on order!
Take number two?
Success!

I have taken to using them against Martians though, up-gunned with a cannon through the prop boss augmented with the over wing Lewis and slowed down to an F deck, so a little more stable & predictable. I've gamed T&T once, and so having a later bird is not a bad idea, but as I am trying to limit the collection I think I am leaving towards the MS with either MS156 markings for David Putnam, or Belgian markings since I have all the Belgian Nexus/Ares and R.A.F. full color birds available (well, once I order the B.E.2c). The Austin-Ball looks neat, but there are no plane cards for it that I know of.

I thought as much...it sucks! That's why I want to do one.
At a max speed of 140 km/h the unofficial aircraft stats worksheet would give it a XD deck.
Thanks! It is getting there...just waiting decals and this tripe will be ready.
looking good there Daryl!

Okay. For future reference, I used/use Castrol Super Clean. No odor, biodegradable, etc.
