Glad the flight was a success!

So, how'd it fly?

I keep waiting for the pilot or the designer to chime in here.........but in their absence I will expand on the flight just a little bit.

First of all, we learned a great deal about the airplane and the design. At 3172 suare inches of wing area and 39.4 pounds ready to fly less fuel, it was very light on its wing.........so weight isn't a problem.

Secondly we learned (as previously stated by Larry) flying wires are going to be required for normal flying. I am a little dissappointed about this because I wanted a very quick to get ready for flight ''plug & fly'' type of model. But since everyone else was planning to add the flying wires, no one else was bummed out about that......soooooo, I will fit functional flying wires to my model. It won't add too much tothe assembly time and will add immensely to the appearance of the model! Wires are a very prominent feature of the Fokker Eindecker series.

And lastly, we discovered that the stab was
