Default RE: SR Eindecker

I have been flying it since last December. I modified it by using the full flying stabilizer. It flies great but there are some problems. The biggest problem I have found is the rigging. Any hard landing will affect the rigging because the flying wires are attached to the landing gear and there is no provision for tightening the wires. I installed turnbuckels on the flying wires and adjustable clevises on the landing wires to adjust everything. Loose flying wires will come into contact with the wheels and the aircraft will trip over itself on landing. The first time it happened the wheel ran over the flying wire and it ripped the attactment block right out of the wing. Another solution to this problem is to keep your suspension tight. Another solution would be to refrain from making hard landings. The kit goes together like a dream and the wings are real easy with the technique they use. There is an article in this mionth's AMA mag.
