I looked up the link & took up Googling a whole bunch of sites. What I’ve found is the Nieuport -23 is essentially a Nieuport 17 but with the Vickers machine gun mounted just off to the right side from center of the front fuselage as opposed to the -17 which is supposed to have it mounted on the centerline. The -23 was supposed to deal with structural weakness on both the -11 & -17, but the top wing kept peeling away in a dive anyway. Then it’s supposedly powered by a Gnome -9 version rotary engine. Other than that, externally they’re essentially identical. Maybe I’m missing something.   Back to Top  Printer Friendly Version  Profile  Search    BobH Site Supporter Joined: October/24/2003 United States Posts: 5911 IP Logged Posted: May/23/2019 at 2:04pm  Quote   It's a cool looking plane. I'm sure they would make a great RC project.   Back to Top  Printer Friendly Version  Profile  Search    abufletcher Site Supporter Joined: March/11/2004 United States Posts: 9577 IP Logged Posted: July/02/2019 at 8:55am  Quote   I'm not seeing how the Nieuport 23 CI is different from the Nieuport 17.   Back to Top  Printer Friendly Version  Profile  Search
