Post by: ysi_maniac on July 03, 2012, 04:16:15 AM
What if Fokker D.XXI was equipped with RR Merlin and retractable uc?

The big engine needs to be balanced, somehow.

Looking good, how bout a Finnish scheme, they did convert two Fokker D.21's to retractable undercart, they were well known for reengening various types too, eg Morane with Soviet Lagg engine, DC.2 with ex Blenhiem Mercury's, etc. maybe the merlins from their Hurricanes could have been used on the Fokker   8)

cheers, joe
