	Rumpler Taube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rumpler Taube is a pre-World War I monoplane aircraft, and the first mass produced military plane in Germany.
		Being the Germans' first practical military plane, it was used for all common military aircraft applications, including as a fighter, bomber, surveillance plane and trainer from its first flight in 1910 until the beginning of World War I. Due to the rapid advancement of aviation during the war, the design was obsolete by 1914.
		Taube airplanes were able to detect the advancing Russian army during the Battle of Tannenberg (1914).

	Rumpler Taube [Archive] - The Aerodrome Forum
		Rumpler had great advantages of publicity due to a long legal battle with Etrich, an Austrian, over the design, and the name took on a generic quality in the public imagination.
		In any case, the Taubes did not last long in front-line service after the war began, and indeed were even before it started in the way of being phased out of active service.
		In Col. John de Vries' old monograph "Taube, Dove of War", the author says: "Vague references to machine-gun armed Taubes are to be found in 1912 French publications and 'Flugsport' of 1914." He also notes three references from "Flight" between Nov. 1914 and April 1915 to Taubes armed with machine-guns or "quick-firing" guns.

		So while the Taube (literally: dove) may be called the first "fighter" to see combat, it is just as likely the first bomber and the first combat observation aircraft.
		Taubes served only about six months' active duty in the front lines of World War I, but since these early monoplanes comprised about half Germany's 246 available aircraft strength at the opening of hostilities, they saw considerable duty in many roles.
		By 1914, however, the Taube was already obsolescent, and saw most of its military application as an observation aircraft, trainer, and utility machine with fighter squadrons.

	Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War - CHAPTER VII
		Possibly the German machine which is most familiar, by name, to the general public is the Taube, or, as it is sometimes called, the Etrich monoplane, from the circumstance that it was evolved by the Austrian engineer Igo Etrich in collaboration with his colleague Wels.
		The "Taube" commanded attention in Germany for the reason that it indicated the first departure from the adherence to the French designs which up to that time had been followed somewhat slavishly, owing to the absence of native initiative.
		The Taube was subsequently tested both in France and Great Britain, but failed to raise an equal degree of enthusiasm, owing to the manifestation of certain defects which marred its utility.

		In August 1914 the Taube quickly proved its worth as a reconnaissance aircraft when it gave the Germans warning of a Russian advance during the Battle of Tannenburg.
		The Taube was a stable aircraft with pleasant flying characteristics, and considering that it was already four years old when war broke out, its performance for 1914-15 was not at all bad.
		The model depicted in the kit is of the first German aircraft to fly over Paris, the D-2 flown by A Friedrich and Dr. H Ellis flew from Berlin to Paris-Villacoublay on 7 September 1913.

		For you experienced pilots, the Taube is a fun little plane to own when you don't have a lot of flying space, you just feel like flying slow and low, or you want to do some minor aerobatics in a nearby steelyard.
		The Taube is an ARF (almost ready to fly), but there is still a lot of stuff you have to do to get it into the air.
		The Taube is a durable and an easy plane to fly -- a good plane for beginners, and a nice addition to the experienced pilot's collection.

		The bird-like Rumpler Taube sailed over the Gare de I'Est section of the city for nearly an hour with the load of three small bombs and three message containers.
		When World War I began, he was assigned to Feld-Fieger-Abteilung II in Belgium, where he and his observers conducted some of the earliest military reconnaissance flights of the war, including the bombing of Paris.
		When the war broke out, nearly half of Germany's aircraft were of the Taube type--that is, bird-like in appearance and typical of a design principle originated by the Austrian engineer Dr. Josef Etrich.

		The name Taube, translated as "dove," was used by many manufacturers to describe a particular style of monoplane airframe, originally designed by Igo Etrich.
		Based on observations of the seed of a tropical plant, Taube's design was quickly imitated by a great many manufacturers in the pre-war period, more than this book could hope to cover.
		In addition to the fascinating text describing the background of the Taube, there are the usual high quality scale drawings showing the Rumpler Taube 4C and Jeannin Taube in multiple views and two scales.

		Seriously outdated by the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the Rumpler Taube ("Dove") was nevertheless built in significant quantities by a large number and variety of manufacturers.
		The Taube soon was removed from front-line service as an observation platform and quickly relegated to less-demanding roles, such as training.
		Noteworthy is the fact the Taube still used wing-warping for roll control during a period when virtually everything else in the skies was equipped with ailerons.

		The Rumpler is really a wonderful looking airplane, well documented in the literature, but also a workhouse of WW1 German aviation with over 2,200 aircraft delivered between September 1916 and January 1917 as listed in the serial number table of the Rumpler C.IV Data File.

	The Taube: A Stealth: WWI German observation airplane
		Etrich had relinquished his copyright in the design, following a dispute with Rumpler, and this left the way clear for Tauben for various types to be built in Germany by the A]batros, DFW, Gotha, Halberstadt, Jeannin, Kondor, Krieger, LVG, LilbeckTravemuinde and Rumpler factories.
		The Taube's wing design is based on the zanonia tree seed pod, which drifts through the air for great distances.
		First produced for sporting purposes, Taubes were later used for observation and training by Germany and Austro-Hungary during World War I. Ironically, the Taube (meaning Dove, the peace symbol) was first to drop bombs in war; the Balkans in 1911 and Paris in 1914.

		It was the brainchild of Viennese engineer Edmund Rumpler, who started his career with the Nesseldorfer Waggonfabrik (the Bohemian company predecing Tatra in the current Czech town of Koprivnice) and the Berliner company Allgemeinen Motorwagen Gesellschaft before moving to Frankfurt in 1902 to start work at Adler.
		Rumpler returned to Berlin in 1906 to start his own company, freelancing as an engineering consultant to the automotive and aviation industry.
		Rumpler entered into a licensing deal with Benz in 1925 to place Benz’s 2.6-litre 50hp engine in the back, and converted back to traditional fenders too to create the Typ 4A 106 follow-up, even switching to front-wheel drive as a last resort, but it was too little (or perhaps too much) too late.

		Thanks will p2, making the ailerons smaller than the wing tip is a good idea, because I won't have to break the glue joint (I'd already glued the tips on at the required angle before I got the idea to make them into ailerons).
		BTW, about this topic, reading up I found out the original Taube(s) had wing warping (the whole wing tip was bent up or down by a fishing net of wires), only the last Rumpler one (the 4C modelled by Ikarus)had ailerons, which moved the whole wing tip.
		Finally got the Taube plus warping ailerons (really just wingtips pulled up or pushed down by a wing mounted servo) into the air.
