[WWI] 1:22 scale R/C Fokker E-III

[Allan Wright]

Photo update on my page: http://pease1.sr.unh.edu/aew/rc/Kyosho_E-III/
Fuselage is taking shape, all R/C gear, motor, battery in place. Per
Thayer's encouragement, I found a way to mount the battery under the
motor in the forward fuselage.

Wheels are temporary to protect the undercarriage. Rear top decking is
not glued in place yet as I still have to run the control surface
pushrods. 

Wing area is about 20% larger than the Cessna the gear comes from, and I
have about 20% more power since I'm using the Bob Selman 7mm geared
pager motor. Hopefully these will make my heavy (21g estimated) Fokker
still fly nicely.

Waiting on a shipment of Foam to finish the wings.
