The latest additions to my "Leutnant Helmut Pfeiffer" range, these portraying his aircraft from late 1917 into early 1918 (before the existing "Steffi"s).
Fed Up of Covid-19, I tried a little Steffi'17!

Excellent work! Rep OTW!
Hard to tell which one is better
Wing-tip skids!Originally Posted by Dan-Sam
The very narrow track of the landing gear, combined with the torque of the rotary engine and the lack of forward-and-downward visibility when landing, caused prototypes to be spun around on their wingtips and/or crashed when landing.
All Fokker Dr.1s had 'em (but not the three Fokker F.1s delivered to MvR, Voss and Wolff before the main production planes arrived at the front).

Wing skids?...and here I thought they were wing tanks, one for scotch and the other for water.
Much finer on the real thing than on the models Dan, for obvious reasons, but once you know they're there they're easy to spot in Dr.1 photo's.
