There was lots of trial and error, and lots of scrap balsa and plywood but I finally got a working prototype today. It still needs some tweaks on the linkages and well as some adjusting of the hinges to close the gaps - but that is for tomorrow!
Sorry, no charts or graphs! ;)

Sorry, no paperwork! Just a lot of fitting, cutting, re-cutting, fitting... and so on! I do not think two of my 3S 5000s will fit without some major mods. I may just go with a couple of 3300s at first. Maybe I can find a nice 3S 6000 later.

After 3 almost identical conversations.....( 2 with B-25 jockys, 1 with a Bristol) I ordered a spare canopy nose. You get all the nose glazing and the dorsal windscreen for 60 bucks. I also got a pair of the recommended retracts. They will have to suffice until I find a suitable set...***The ones on VQ website, for their 70" (?) DC3 are 149.00....very reasonable.....but man do they look spindly. I want to find someone that has them in hand, for a quality report
The B-25 guys all took one look, and said: "You're gonna want to order a replacement nose while you can. Guarantee you will booger that one up in short order"
So I did

A few months ago, I dumb-thumbed my Graupner He-111, letting it tip stall as I was turning from Base onto Final on a blustery day. One of the wings was mangled beyond repair. I'm just now getting around to repairing the 111. Thinking that the BH Heinkel was a rebranded Graupner, I bought a replacement BH wing. On the BH wing, the servos install in a different orientation, but no big deal. The big deal is that the BH wing installs differently to the fuselage. It's gonna take a bit of cutting and drilling in order to be able to put the new BH wing on my Graupner 111. Also, the BH wing uses a larger diameter wing spar. So, I'll have to find a way to make an sleeve so that the smaller diameter Graupner spar will fit and support the new BH wing. Anyway, just FYI.---

I am considering this plane and it calls for 2 Cell 11.1V 2600 - 3700 mAh LiPo Batteries. Anyone use 1 4S 4000mah battery? The other question is for the propeller it calls for APC 11.5.5 thin electric. I would like to use 3 bladed props but I am not sure what size to get. Could use some help.
