The next move on the Pfalz should probably be the wing. Already, the motor mount, tail group, and alighting gear are done. I am very glad to have these incredibly obstacles out of the way@! Once the wing is done, I can start to determine how to arrange the electronics to balance the model.

I don't know exactly the detail of the wing construction, maybe it is similar to the Fok.E wing. Even if not 100% scale, I would like to [link=http://www.karmy.com/minimax/pictures/wing/wing.htm]build-up the ribs[/link] because I hate cutting ribs and the technique looks interesting, but it will take quite some time. I could make a couple of jigs and maybe the family would help me! I don't know the exact airfoil either but maybe someone on the Aerodrome can suggest something

Problem I have now, is I have already a framed up wing in the appropriate chort and span, but it is not a scale wing, it is a 2412 airfoil with ailerons. The temptation is great to work up some quick cabane struts and bolt on this wing parasol fashion - it would be a very stable configuration and would allow me to complete the fuselage, fly it, and prove out the unproven parts i.e. the tail group and undercarriage. Then the question will be, once that the thing is flying, will I finish it out or move on to something else (something bigger!)

I am quite anxious to fly a new scratchbuilt model (even if the initial configuartion not %100 scale). Since the tragic loss of the Parasol ( in my avatar) the hangar is conspicuously lacking a %100 scratchbuilt. The Goldberg Tiger rebuild in the pics is closes scratchbuild I have (fuse 100% scratch original design by me, wing 100% ARF). THe Tiger rebuilt fuse is nearly 100% hardwood , first time I have tried that and it weighs absolutely no more than the original slab-side balsa construction ARF fuse.
