Default RE: SR Batteries Eindecker Questions...

Thanks for the kind words guys. I found that most of the changes I've made seem to have form follow function, but msot of the time in 1/4 scale it always pays to look at the way the full size was engineered and start from there. The struts might look better but the motivation for me was because I bent them on a rough landing. The skid was changed because my plane would roll out forever and I would have to go retrieve it or turn it and the rigging made things more simple ,but you should see the pile of wire I have in my workshop that is not usable. I was just getting tired of running out looking for more wire evey time I had to make an adjustment. The same is true for the full flying elevator. That was done to expirement with the idea, but afterwards I realized that it made the SR E1 look more like an E3 which was what I wanted to model anyway.
