Balsa USA Eindecker, 80"
I am interested in the Balsa USA Eindecker, 80" Kit. How does it build and how does it fly? I am thinking about putting an OS 91 4-stroke Engine on this bird.
Thanks,
Ed

best flying model i have ever owned. it putts around, she will do basic aerobatics, you can dress her up and still keep her light. when i get home this evening i will add pics of mine. i built her in 4 weeks. i added cap strips and real burnished alluminum, as well. i have been flying for 25 years and fly turbines reguraly, however the eindecker always makes it to the field for some good flying. barry ps, i would consider an os 120, she will need the nose weight.

U2fast is right about the Eindecker, it's a great flying model. I had one for a couple of years until radio failure put it in. Or was that a Sopwith Camel? I had a Saito 91 in mine and when I build another one, I'll be using at least a 1.20 4-stroke or maybe a G-26. It could use the extra power. Can't go wrong with this BUSA kit.

Get one, you won't be sorry. Lot's of guys put G-23's and weedie 25cc conversions in them. Mine uses TT.91 and will darn near stand on the prop when the enemy gets too close.
