Stick and tissue Eindekker scratch build.

Engne looks good and really amazing when running. Video looked great until the prop decided to fly away on its own.

Yeah the prop bit the air and torqued it into the wires leading to the MRC Control Master two I used as a power source struck and the prop flew off!

Due to the addition of the rotary engine,It was necessary to construct a new larger cowling.I will spray it with Alclad.

I painted it semi gloss black to impart the look of aluminium rather than bright chrome.The finish looks like metal.

Since the larger cowling was necessary to accommodate the rotating engine and the necessity of mounting it higher on the fuselage,it no longer really looks like an Eindekker.Last minute decisions to make it a Rotary and insufficient planning for same compromised the profile.Therefore I will have to raise the cockpit area to make it at least practical.Since weight was not an issue on a non flying model.I used brass bar Stock to make the landing gear and lower wing warp wire mount.The wheels are temporary until I can find more authentic replacements.

Ok I decided to use one of those Lipo stick batteries to power the motor and wired in a mini switch .Surprised how powerful that thin battery is Added the tail too!

Made the machine gun out if aluminum tubing and plastic.

Added the top wing warp wire mount and installed the machine gun.

Looking good! Keep up the good work.

Thanks!it is coming out pretty cool thus far!

Starting to look like an Eindekker!

Finished it up and hung it fro. the ceiling.

I decided to use a Williams Pilot figure. .

Well I has been an interesting project and since I have over 1600 views,you FSM formites agree even if you refrain from posting.Despite its flaws ,I like the fact that I can take a plan,some flat basswood sheets ,sticks,and the sort of tissue that you stuff into gift bags and make something that did not exist before I made it!Proof of concept discoveries include the effective use of plastic stencils to airbrush the markings and the addition of a simulated Rotary Engine.Good thing I have a. extensive parts srash,but it still took several hours to figure out how to make the engine rotate with the prop.I was surprised how tight the tissue became on the lower wings and fuselage.Pretty durable despite extensive handling during constructionlIvery cool ceiling hanger!Thanks for viewing this fascinating project!As always comments are welcome!
