FE 8 Stats
Chaps, have we got any unofficial stats for the FE 8 pusher.
I have seen official for DH2, unofficial for the FE2 but nothing for the FE8
Not seen any Chris, my sources aren't great but suggest speed was similar to the DH2 (had the same engine in the main) but the FE8 could climb better. Other than that they are probably as vulnerable as eachother ! Doubtless the Gurus will find a solution for us.
From the Windsock Datafile, 'production' figures which are averages of performance derived from a number of 40 Sqn RFC Monosoupape-engined FE8s.
Max Speed (mph)
6000ft.......79
8000ft.......73.25
10000ft.....69.5
12000ft.....67.2
Climb to (min/sec)
6000ft.......9 28
8000ft......14 12
10000ft.....23 42
12000ft.....37 36
Ceiling.......15,210ft
Cheers chaps
Works for me, thanks
So judging by those figures just using the new revised DH2 stats would just about fit.

I got the impression the FE8 was a little more sturdier than the DH2.
Stats I was going to use were P * B * 14 hows that look ?

XC?
Erm....Just to summarise DH2
Official cards from Immelmann Booster = P
Unoficial Cttee headshed = G
New deluxe (still waiting) = G?
FE8 = XC.
Better go check card files for an XC deck then see if I can afford another shapeways order
It's next on our list (along with quite a few others.......)
XC?!?! That is odd.
If you can wait a week or so, I'm working on one, and trying to keep it under $6.

(For some odd reason, the static pic Shapeways is showing isn't the most recent update. However, the 3d image is.)

Hey Algy!
In the new series 5 boxes the DH-2 is allocated the "P" Deck which our folk advocated & Andrea picked up on & the Eindeker gets a new "T" deck.
If the DH-2 uses the P then the FE8 should as well. The XC is for the Gunbus FB5!
XC ? That doesn't seem right.
The FE8 is later than the DH2 and was improved.
Sea Level Speed is 151 - that's in the P bracket. XC is wrong not just on speed grounds, but on turn ability.
