A well worn Andreason biplane from a Peck kit, won a whole truckload of contests with this one, one of the best flying peanuts I ever built. Still flies fantastic.

Hi Flailing,
Your models are terrific! I would love to see those in the air. Could you tell us a little about the Eindecker? What plan/kit is it from and how does it fly? Also, I would love to know how you made your pilot bust. Thanks Moon |

The Eindecker is from my own plans based on the excellent drawings in Austro Hungarian Aircraft of WWII, it's still in the trimming phases but shows real potential it weighs 8 grams. My peanut scale pilots are made from strips of toilet paper and corn starch over clay plugs. You mix corn starch with a little water and use it to apply the tissue strips over the clay mold, when dry you slit the tissue and carefully remove the shell, it won't stick. I have yet to find a lighter way to make pilots.

That rotary engine is a work of art! I went to the dollar store to get some bendy straws and will try it out on my Fokker DVIII. The cowling looks to be 1/32 sheet balsa. Is it? I am thinking about just removing my carved balsa nose to try this. Any tips?
