Getting back to Eindeckers, Do any of you know anyone who has expierience flying one with wing warping? If I were to do one with wimg warping it would have to be 1/4 scale and I would probably scratch build it. The Sr eindecker is great for sport scale but not practical for converting to scale in my opinion.
I remember reading a book by Frank Tallman entitled Flying the Old Pkanes and he flies a reproduction eindecker with wing warping and an 80 hp LeRone. He said that he got the impression that if he let go of the stick or rudder bar the plane would turn itself inside out! AS for the wing warping he said that the warp was extremly stiff on the wings but slight pressure and almost no apparent movement of the stick is enough to drop a wing in normal turn. what I found really interesting was when he got it up to altitude and level you want to get both hands on the stick for as you pick up speed it gets very sensitive fore and aft, and you have some difficulty not PORPOISING! His very words and I found I had the same problem with my Sr eindecker with full flying elevator.
