Default RE: My First Build BUSA E III

Looking good ! A flying buddy of mine just maidened his Eindecker. We plan on flying next season together at Warbird rallies. I scratchbuilt a dummy engine and so did he, however he one-upped me on his. So after I finish building my Eindecker I will probably redo my dummy engine . He also started his based on his using a 12.0z aluminum can for the center section with all the paint sanded off. Then instead of using 1/8 plywood cut out like I did , he used 1/2" dowel glued and screwed to the can to simulate the cyclinders with 1/2" spilt conduit covering the dowels. Of course he used one wire to simulate the pushod instead of the 2 I did. So the following picture is his. I'm so jealous
