I do like the 1/6th scale size, but in that size they design them with extra wide gear that really ruins the look for me. Yes, I can bend my own gear, but I don't like to...that's the reason for a kit instead of a scratch build. I'm sure they do it to reduce ground looping, which is a genuine problem, but then they lose the WWI look. I think a gyro on rudder is a better solution. Gluing the wheels to the axle and having the whole axle and wheels turn together might work too.
