Default RE: My First Build BUSA E III

Don: I've heard of someone seeing a rotating engine and they used the "pin wheel" method, meaning they had plastic fins between the cylinders that caused the dummy engine to rotate. I'm eventually going to give that method a try as well as the dummy engine rotating on a bearing of some sort while attached to a prop, of course that is a long way off. As of now i'm just going to build and make simple modifications to the E III.

I have a question for you...I saw your tail assembly as well as your tail skid (custom made?) and I love it! What is the proper term for that..."Full working______"? I want to use those applications on my kit as well. I read the threads, but didn't see any specific info on those (I don't think I missed it) and was wondering if you can offer a little guidance. Per BUSA plans the stabilzer would slide into the rear fuse, i'm assuming you trimmed the stabilzer in your application, from pics i've seen in the "Fokker Eindecker In Action" pub, as well as your pics below, it's not connected to the fuse the way it is per BUSA plans. I'm assuming you made the "mount" first and then went with modifying the tail feathers/rudder?
