Default RE: 1/2 Scale Fok EIII in progress

Hey Doc,

Glad to see a thread started for your half scale Eindecker! I am subscribed!

I flew a third scale EI for several years in competition.......is was a magnificent flying airplane. I did most of the manuvering with the tail and used the wing warping to level the wings. I started a turn with both rudder and wing warp in the direction of the turn, then used rudder to hold the turn (more or less as needed) and opposite wing warp to level the wings. Kind of backwards the way most people look at it, but not too uncommon for a variety of the early pioneer and WW1 aeroplanes.

Are you pointing toward the 2014 Dayton Dawn Patrol Rendezvous for a completion date?

Cheers,
Art
