RE: Eindecker EIII
Paul, looks like you are making good progress.......it will be interesting to see how the suspension works out in the field. I know you will give it a good work out when you get her flying! haahahhah!
I am a little bit envious - that small router looks to be a great time saver.
I have been working a bit on my build. I think what was slowing me down was deciding which servos to use.......I have a couple of sets of different sizes and well, to make a long story short.........I'll show you what I ended up with.
Also, there were some sub-assemblies which needed to be made before the fuse sides could be joined......
The first pictures show the designer's servo mount set up........, followed by my modification. It seems no matter how well thought out a servo mounting system is - SOMEONE (that would be me in this case) wants to change it all around. It is stricly a personal choice. Actually, as far as the geometry is concerned, Larry's design is 100% correct and gives equal up/down elevator throws.
The next pictures show the sub assemblies, one for the wing tube and the other two for the landing gear blocks.
All these assemblies as well as the other forward fusealge cross members will be glued to one side using squares to keep them properly aligned.
Then the two fuse side will be joined together.
