Like so much of the Internet, I seem to find out about great stuff mostly
by random. I had no idea there was a WWI mailing list. I would greatly
appreciate being added to it.
I had the pleasure of meeting Steven Stratt at KRC last Sepember. After
following his work for a number of years it was nice to finally get a
chance to talk to him. I had been thinking of the Albatros for a while
and attending KRC drove the nail home.
I am currently building a DH Tiger Moth for the FAI 15 geared and expect
to be throttled back more often than not. 48" span and @ 4 lbs flying
weight should be pretty good on nearly 700 sq in. The Moth will be my
first 'real' electric model and as such I thought it would be a great
warm up for the DII.
Thanks for the tip on the motor, I was leaning in that direction
already. Now I guess there are few excuses as the Tiger Moth is in the
final stages of radio installation.
