    Default New `T` Deck

    One thing thats noticable with the new Series 5 models is that there has been a number of changes to the card decks used.
    The DH2 and Halberstadt now use the `P` Deck rather than the `G` and the Fokker EIV presumably remains with the `G` Deck.
    Thats all OK as the `P` Deck always was in the old Immelmann pack but there is a bit of a problem with the Fokker DIII and Morane as they now use a new `T` deck rather than the old `G` one.

    Now I was wondering if there was some solution for those of us who are still stuck with using the old Immelmann cards to be able to create a `T` Deck from one of the older decks as a stopgap measure until we can get hold of the new models?

    Use a R deck minus 1 left & 1 right sideslip or E deck minus the broad right & left sideslips Rob, or, you can use the G deck but forget the 'steep' marking on the Left/Right sideslips that have them.

    T Deck:
    3 straight
    3 right turn
    3 left turn
    2 stall - steep
    1 Immelmann !
    2 right sideslip
    2 left sideslip

    So the new Deck is similar to the old `G` Deck then, just no steep sideslips?
    Those three options should help most of us, for me adapting the `R` is fine but then a lot of people won`t have it since it was only available in the `Balloon Buster` sets with the Nieuport 16.
    Similar problem with the `E` Deck as that one is only in the `Watch Your Back` set with the Nieuport 11 cards, that set though seems to still be fairly easy to get hold of.
    `G` is probably the best option over all as it`s in the Immelmann pack anyway.

    For my non standard Moraines & EIII I have used the old G deck and blanked out the steeps on the sideslips as suggested. All that is needed is a photocopier/printer and some magic tape, job done to cover the steep symbol

    As the Wingco is on inspection tour here in Avon this evening Ill show him first hand

    Indeed he did and I was suitably impressed as it will sort out the problem for me also.
