Really nice work on the canopy details and pilot Caffeenman! What do you think the final weight of your eindecker will be??


ORIGINAL: educote

I just started with the SR kit of the E-1. I would like to make it a true wing-warper but the rigid wing structure won't allow it. Maybe use a closed-loop cable system that utilizes the wingwarping cable path but terminates at the ailerons?
I scratch built a smaller 1/5th EIII a while ago and used wing warping on it. Even with the scale airfoil the wing is surprisingly rigid and I had to use a strong servo to effect any appreciable amount of warping. My guess is that you'd need a right powerful servo for the SR wing as it looks very sturdy.
How would you go about setting up a closed loop system to the ailerons??
