Super Flying Models Eindecker ARF
Assembly of the Eindecker took place from Mid April/2006 to its Maiden Flight on May 28, 2006. This model took Second Place in the SIRCM ARF Category at our 2006 Static Show. Added features not included with the kit are: Williams Brothers 4.25 inch vintage wheels, Vinyl Lettering, Silver Metal Top Flight Paint on the Cowl, and a Du-Bro Filler Valve. I am using FUTABA Radio Gear and Servos (3004's). Please enjoy the photos below.

Servo Tray w/Servo's installed. I re-enforced the Servo Tray top and bottom with 1/4inch triangle balsa stick and Epoxy.
