    Ross. Looks superb! A mate and I are planning to build the AA Eindecker EIII in Aus. The Rotax 503 isn’t manufactured any longer so I’d be interested in your thoughts on alternative engines and any other advice.

    • @rossbrodie8280
      @rossbrodie8280  2 года назад +3

      There are a few in the US and UK which are powered by the valley engineering Big Twin. It’s a little heavier than the Rotax and not as powerful but is easier on gas and being a four stroke, the sound suits it better.
      They are a very lightly built aircraft, if you find parts of the design you don’t like I suggest you beef it up a bit. We did this in quite a few places on ours. Also, when it came to final assembly we found our aircraft was really nose heavy, I suggest you make allowance for adding lead weights if required to the rear fuselage, if you install an electrical system install the batter as far back as practical to try and even out the weight distribution.

    I saw somewhere that you said the Eindecker would dive to the ground if you let go of the stick. Is that right? Sounds unstable. I'm thinking of building one from Aerodrome Aeroplanes so I wanted to hear what you had to say about it. Thanks.

    • @thegreat_I_am
      @thegreat_I_am 4 месяца назад

      The horizontal stabilizer on the Eindekker was fully movable and hinged centrally with no fixed surfaces. If the pilot released the stick it had a tendency to snap fully up or fully down with disastrous consequences. It was an unstable little beast, but pilots mastered it all the same.
