Default RE: Eindeckers anyone

I based this one on an old Carstens plan. Span was around 85". Conventional stick balsa construction and covered with Sig Koverall. Paint job was basically acrylic housepaint applied with a 2" brush. Aluminium was ex a cheap spraycan. I brushed sanding sealer over the Koverall at the 'aluminum' areas and that effectively filled the fabric weave.

Power was a tired old 25cc Homelite conversion with the small carb and it was a very good match. The model flew like a trainer and could manage a loop and a roll from a shallow dive.

That`s a Ziroli Dr-1 in the background.
