RE: Balsa USA 1/4 E.III Eindeker
Are you referring to their 90 size Eindecker? It is 1/5 scale I believe. A friend has built one of these with the stick structure behind the cockpit (covered with fabric), & it flies just fine. I did mine per the plans & it is sheeted. In retrospect, I wished I had done mine with the open structure as it would look very nice with the antique solartex fabric.
