Weathers no good to fly so might as well start this build. Just started flying and building late last summer and I recently finished at 72" hybrid profile scratchbuild. It can be seen on profile and funfly planes under Carden Profile.. Two of us were building large profiles on the thread. I have also built two other profile kits, A fun 51 and a OMP Edge 540 so this will be my first "fatty" and non sport type plane.. Lets get cracking[sm=wink_smile.gif]..

This should take you too long. My triplane was a fun build. What engine are you going to put in it?

Flexin,
What up!
I am also in the process of doing the 80". Have a long way to go as I am making alot of semi-scale mods.
That is the same color scheme I picked out a year ago. I get tired of seeing the same old "cream" Eindeckers.
If you need any help or pictures of other builds/referance photos let me know.
It is nice to see someone else building one of these. I know it is not the most scale but it makes a good base and the price is right.
Later

Hows it going BRITTURB..
Thanks for the interest.
This Balsa USA kit seems easy enough. I traded a motor for this kit . My interest is mostly in sport planes and profiles but I thought this would be a interesting project to do as we don't have many old warbirds flying at our field and I wanted to to see how difficult building something other than a profile would be. I would like to see your progress on your build as I enjoy seeing other projects in the making.

I got alot done . Tried to build the aux wire gear but the wire I had was to stiff to work with, also could only find two inch aluminum tape. Might just try the two color aluminum paint method for the simulated metal areas..

Looking good. I am building one too and also have a build thread going. I am playing catch up as it was to be my "winter project".

Been a while since I posted but have been very busy with work and other things. Started working on the Eindecker again. The covering is flat dove gray. It doesn't show well in the picture. hope to get it done by sunday..

A little more work on the Eindecker. As you can see I just went with a simple color scheme because I was unable to find the colors I wanted at the LHS and didn't want to drag out the build any longer. I will add flying wires after I get the ailerons hinged and the maltese crosses put on wing. I just want to fly this thing. I would have finished it this weekend but I ran out of ca fri night and flew all day sat and our club has a fun fly today that I'm getting ready to leave for now.. Will post another pic when it's totally finished.

Hi Flexnbeef:

I have been following your E-III build, great job. I am about to start one myself and was wondering if any of the fellas had tried a Zenoah G-20Ei in this airframe ? I built the .40 version years back and always wanted to build the .90 version but I was waiting for a small enough gas engine. I have the G-20Ei and think it will be just right.

I am attaching a couple of shots of my Aeromaster so you can see the finish. It is a GP ARF but I don't like Monokote so as soon as I got it I stripped it and did a re-cover with 21st Century Super-Coverite
fabric. Used antique because I had it but sure did hate to cover it with paint. I sprayed it with Behr Latex exterior house paint and after trim and decals sprayed it with water based clear polyeurethane Satin Finish. Gives the fabric a nice soft sheen. I plan on doing my E-III the same way except leaving the antique unpainted and just the clear Satin.

Really would be interested to know if anyone has tried the G-20 in the E-III.

Thanks,

Thanks teeceeveecee..
The instructions show an optional install of the Zenoah 23. Mine has a Super Tigre 61. I like that color scheme on your bipe I need to get me one of those

Thanks much for the info on the Zenoah installation on the E-III. I was sure the G-20Ei I have would be a good match, this confirms it.

Your E-III looks really great and your "Crazy Pilot".

Thanks again,

E T
