I took the EIII on another outing this past weekend. I went to Derby Days Model Airshow, an R/C airshow put on by the Indianapolis Eastside Club. This show coincides with the Soap Box Derby held in Morristown, IN on the same weekend. It was well attended by the public.

I flew the Eindecker in the WWI gaggle with 5 or 6 other WWI planes. I also flew a dog fight demo with a 35% N-17.......it was a little rough with a wicked rolling cross wind.

I also flew the Eindecker through the speed trap.......25 mph on the slow pass into the wind and 78 mph with a diving down wind pass. If the wind were a bit more steady and not so rough, I could have got the speed down a bit more - but 25 mph is pretty slow for this big bird. In retrospect I should have flown through the trap on a normal cruising speed pass - I would guess it would have been 40 or so.......
