Default RE: Eindecker EIII

BTW, some modelers might make the mistake of thinking of the EIII as a "small" aircraft because it only had one wing. But the fact of the matter is that it had a wingspan of 10m, compared with only 8m for a Sopwith Pup. In fact, the EIII's wingspan was a large as the 2-seat Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter!

So at 1/3 scale, this is no teeny model (as we can see from the photo of Paul lifting it out of his truck)!!! Can you imagine trying to make a 1/3 scale Strutter without functional rigging! [X(]
