Default RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

Here is my 2 cents worth........

The original didn't have any kind of power assist on the flying stab, did it? No, I don't think so. The air loads didn't over power the pilot and the slip stream didn't cause any undo osilations or flutter of the flying stab........so isn't it reasonable to assume that the model will respond in a similar fashion? Consequently, the servo requirements would be similar to those requirements for a conventional stab/elevator set up of a similar size. Right?

I flew a 1/3 scale Fokker E1 for 7 years without problems.......the tail was full flying and scale in outline and function.

I am enjoying the build and all the discussion.

Cheers,
Art
