Default RE: morane-eindecker thingy

I am always getting hung up on small details... right now, I need to cut my Aluminum struts. Problem is getting the cut surface to match the fuse bottom at the right angle and such. I actually did the math to figure out the overall length of the struts - it has to be 3D math, because since the struts angle both forward and to the sides, there is no "normal" dimension in any of the three views. HOwever, when I cut the fake basswood struts, the angle of the cut was done using the TLAR algorithm . Perhaps one way to make the correct angle cut of the strut, is to do some more 3D math, to calculate the correct angle to use and make a miter jig to do the cutting. Heck, I - just - don't - know.

Meanwhile, i took some photos out of the Windsock 59 to show the Pfalz landing gear.
