Default RE: 1/3 Scale Halberstadt D.III

ORIGINAL: Sethhunter
I'll move it if I think the benefits outweigh the asthetics, which I did here.
But I don't see this as an issue of aesthetics, particularly on a model this large. Features like the Wing span, cord width, elevator and rudder size, and that "droop" were all part of the original aerodynamic design solution. And it was these characteristics that made the Halbi fly the way it did (good or bad). In short, I don't want to "improve" on the original.
