Thank you for your interest and such a comprehensive reply. If you dont mind I would like to use your first name instead of a pseudonym. My name is Salvatore but you can call me Sal.
You have made some valid points and I agree that unless I make a small model with similar attributes, it really will not react the same. The full size aircraft was difficult to fly, however, very few were
lost to flight. The elevators were very heavy and the pilot often needed assistance when landing to pull back on the Deperdussin control column to flair.
I beleive your right on the money with a 3 axis gyro. I am a competent pilot, I fly many different types of models. In fact, I have some excellent German designs. One of my favorite is the ME-163 Komet. I also have a Fokker D-VII and a Gotha G-IV.
I will prepare to make a build thread and post something early next week.
Cheers, Sal
