RE: Eindecker EIII
Art and anyone else, Attached are pages from McMaster-Carr of their wire and sleeves and also what you can order from Vogelsang. How do these wires compare to each other and to what Balsa USA sells. Art, I see that you are using the rigging couplers, What diameter wire are you using. I would like to use the 3/64" wire for all of the rigging and pull/pull cables. Larry (The Snail)

RE: Eindecker EIII
Paul, Thanks for the motivating comments. It looked good on the flight-line of the big show. It's been a few years since I was there. Hopefully it drew some interest and comments. We need you and Barry to come to the Mint Julep this year. Art and I will be there. One of the best fields that anyone could ever fly at. They have many different classes to enter. http://www.sircm.com/Mint-Julep.html Larry

RE: Eindecker EIII
Worked out where the attachment point works so the lower wing wires clear the 9.33" wheels. Larry

RE: Eindecker EIII
How about an update on the Eindecker EIII version 2.0. It has been coming along but with a business to run time is usually in short supply. I have found a local metal shop where I am having the landing gear made and the alum. pot cut up for the cowl. I have made a dowel rod mockup and a framing jig for him to make the landing gear fabrication as easy as possible. The gear is going to be made from 1/4" and 3/16" steel and "TIG" welded together. This shop has all of the metal working tools that you could imagine. When the kits are available the landing gear will be assembled and ready to bolt on out of the box. There is a plate across the gear that is screwed into the maple mounting block. This plate is welded to the gear which will add to the rigidity. Two copies of the landing gear will be made by the end of the week along with two cowls. I have the engine mounted and I am starting to work on the control linkages and by next weekend I want to be covering. It may be flying by the Mint Julep but it will still need some ginger bread added later. Larry

RE: Hoosier Dawn Patrol
That's a good schedule. I see that at the Indiana Warbird fly-in the next weekend they are having noontime shows, which unless you are part of the show takes away from flying time. Are there going to any food vendors at the field or should we plan on bringing our own. Larry

RE: Hoosier Dawn Patrol
Hi Art, I got the Eindecker down from hanging from the basement ceiling and got new batteries installed and a couple of flights yesterday. It flew fine, and for me not flying for almost 2 years, it all came back pretty quick. I am trying to get my engine back this week for the TopCub and will I bring it also to test fly in the evening on Saturday. Larry

RE: Hoosier Dawn Patrol
Planning on coming to the HDP on Saturday for my first time. What is the schedule of events for that day. Bringing my old trusty Eindecker III, and info for a 1/3 scale Eindecker EIII that I am designing and kitting designed for fun-scale and dawn patrol flying. Art has seen the previews. Thanks, Larry Folk
