Stunning is indeed the word of the day here! But it's not smaller than the Fokker E.V in all dimensions, the propeller is by far larger. It must've been a monster in the air when the tested it.

Thank you mates!
Regarding the pictures I had a bit of luck today in this grey and dark November: the sun comes out for some moments between the clouds and fog. I used this small time slot immediately. Not nice summer pictures but somehow nice.
Urban, thank you for mention this! The Fokker used a 110hp rotary, the Aviatik 150~160hp, that needs a bigger prop! I have build the Siemens-Schuckert with the (up to) 210hp rotary (see my projects). At the beginning they tried a 2 blade, but the legs was sooo long, it was impossible to land. So they moved to a 4-blade and that one is still huge (we have an original one here in Munich at a museum).

Beautiful build, Bughunter!
Daylight shots look awesome, almost like photos of the real airplane. 👍

Excellent work!!! Beim Bild 18 habe ich in den EAE-Mode umgeschaltet ob du uns nicht ein Original Bild untergeschoben hast 🙂. (EAE = enhanced argus eyes 🙂

Very nice to read your comments here 👍 Thx mates!
Bernhard, you are right! Wie ich unter Bild 18 geschrieben habe: Original (18) versus Fälschung (19, und in Farbe 20) 😉 Es war gar nicht so leicht, die gleiche Perspektive, Winkel und Kameraposition auf dem Foto zu erreichen. Man bräuchte wohl eine ähnliche Brennweite bzw "Field of view" wie die Originalkamera.

Thank you very much Benjamin, also for digging out this non-recent build.
I always try to make the model as close to reality as possible, but don't we all try to do that? This time mission accomplished 🙂

Album info
Today I can show the most light weight fighter of the Austria-Hungary: the Aviatik 30.40 with an empty weight of 366 and fully loaded 586kg. It was developed to use the planned production in Steyr of powerful 11-cylinder Le Rhone rotary engines with up to 160hp. Only 35 engines of 150 planned was delivered, and there was a shortage of Voltol oil not delivered by Germany as expected.
So only a prototype was build and flight tested and no serial production was started.
