Started work on my Eindecker and though I already have the fuselage complete, the wing is entirely a whole other matter. I feel that it is good that I am not a first time builder as I would just be sitting there, scratching my head, trying to figure out what the hell they are saying and what should I be doing.
Also, at this point in time, I do feel that BALSA USA could be or should be producing a kit that is laser cut. The parts coming out of my sheets are not exactly of the best quality, not to mention the parts that are warped.
I got tired of just assembling ARF's and that is part of the reason that I chose this kit. I wanted to get back into building. But this kit may drive me back to ARF's.
Kindly keep in mind folks, that I have about 64 years of model building experience under my belt.
Well everybody says, " Never say Never ". But even though I belong to the Balsa USA Brotherhood and am building this Eindecker 90, I really feel that this is my last Balsa USA / KIT build.
Really have gotten tired of an instruction booklet that to me is basically A** Backwards. Somebody at Balsa USA should sit down and rewrite the whole manual. The parts and even the quality of wood supplied also leave a lot to be desired. Did not realize that a builder would have to take stock wood supplied and make needed parts out of them as they could not even supply wood for the leading edges and other parts of the tail feathers.
Laser cut parts is pretty much the norm today with any model airplane. Balsa USA should also take a hint instead of supplying sheet parts that are die cut and really need quite a bit of easy handling when pushing the parts out.
Guess I could keep rattling on, but what good would that do either you folks or myself. I know that eventually I will have a nice looking and good flying Eindecker. But only because of my many, many, MANY years as a builder.
