7/8 Nieuport 11 flying qualities?
Original birds in WWI operated off grass fields and had 'skags' (sp).
With full back stick you dug the 'skag' in ground and didn't need brakes to stop. If you build a prototype today you need brakes as most, if not all, flying is off hard surface.

IIRC the original versions of most (all?) of these planes didn't have them. I had always assumed that these replicas didn't either and that was something that turned me off when looking at them. Aside from that I've always kinda liked the look of the Fokker D-VIII  .
