Status: offline 		Here is the new one, R.E.P. 1, Esnault Peiterie, 1907. will be 60 wing span. no fin or rudder shown, so will fudge and put one on - as a take off for show and tell. the anhederal wing droop with wing tip wheels will be different. dick

Status: offline 		looks to me as if the fin extends from the main wheel to the tail wheel,not sure if that is a rudder angleling up to the stab or flying wire as seen on the top

Status: offline 		60" wing plan vu complete, leading, trailing edges pinned in place, not droop contoured. now to develope individual rib shape. thought that I would be downsizeing this model. the droop sure is different and it sure doesn't look very small so far. will be able to stuff it diassembled in the 4 door Ford. snooze time, tomorrow is another long day of Scratch Building.  dick

Status: offline 		Really interesting project.  Apparently the original used wing-warping, correct?  Is that what you will do?

Status: offline 		No. going to cheat with ailerons. wing warping just too complicated. the variation in rib, root, size is complicated enough.

Status: offline 		Hey- you could use clear Monokote on that ventral flying wire to fuselage to make a fin. Wing warping is really easier than ailerons! I can send close up pics of my Bleriot or Eindekker if interested! I've built 3 airplanes with it and know it works in these models.

Status: offline 		I was looking at the 3- view and noticed a sagging flying wire from wing- fuse bottom- wing. Maybe the wing is supposed to flex upwards whereupon this wire checks against further travel(?)
