Rob,Thanks for the comment. I'm trying to keep the profile as scale as possible. Most scale buffs are aware of the limitations of most of the existing Pfalz DIIIa drawings. With this particular airplane I'm trying to strike a balance between creating a recognizable scale model and one that is reasonably convenient to fly. I have seen comments by those who note that they don't fly an airplane very often because of the time required for set up and tear down. I have a of of admiration for those people who make sure they have the correct turnbuckle and the ball and sockets joints are just so. I hope to do one of those airplanes some day but right now having an airplane that I will actually fly is a priority. It's not for everybody but I am finding the scratch build rewarding.
