Dear Abufletcher:

The PIPE Here yet AGAIN...and if you head for

http://www.angelfire.com/indie/aerostuff/eindeckero.htm

you'll find just about EVERYTHING you could possibly need!!!!!!!!

There IS a well illustrated conversion of the Balsa USA kit converted to have a "full flying set" of tail surfaces at that site, complete with the "pull-pull" rigging needed to get it all to work...just check it all out, AT that site, and you SHOULD have what you need there to get that Balsa USA "Decker" all "decked out" LOL with a "full flying set" of tail surfaces!

ONE thing to watch out for, though...if your club provides "tail forks" to stick into the ground for aircraft restraint for engine startup, like MY club at http://www.wingbusters.org/ does for its members...you will HAVE to make up a MAIN LANDING GEAR style restraint, that allows you to slide the Eindecker's main gear cross axles forward into against a stop instead, as "tail forks" are NOT the sort of aircraft starting restraint you would EVER want to use with a full flying elevator setup...the chance of DAMAGE to the "flying elevator" is just TOO great from a "tail fork" restraint! I'm planning to build a full blown Fokker M.5K/MG scratchbuilt Giant Scale Eindecker someday, and I KNOW I'll need a special restraint for THAT one that the landing gear axles will slide forward into...and there's NOTHING in that style of restraint that will EVER touch the tail in any way!

But check out that site...and remember to AVOID "tail fork" style aircraft restraints to hold back your Eindecker when starting it up after it gets its "full flying tail surface setup"...there's just TOO much chance of tail damage with that sort of restraint for such a tail setup!

Yours Sincerely,

The PIPE!
