Hi, thank you very much. Yes still flying but not that much this year. Hope to have a go tomorrow, might be another video if I get some good footage. 5-6 knots forecast.
To hinge the tail plane i use standard model hinges. I aligned and installed the elevator to the tailplane to confirm full and free movement. Once confirmed i removed the metal hinge pins from each hinge. Those were replaced with one long carbon pin 1mm . The carbon pin is about the same length as the span of the tailplane. It is just friction keeping it in place and with many hours of flying with the model it has proved to work well. I got the carbon rod on ebay.
Hi, I found mine on eBay, there was a guy in the USA who had made a few kits and was selling them off. it was only a partial kit but the quality was good. Good luck if you decide to make one, its a great model.
I wonder how many times I’d put it back together with the horizontal stab first? I’d bound to be determined to throw the model on the ground and stomp on it!! Really pretty model though. Love your flight videos!!! Tony
Well it is quite a wide tailplane so I did this for the ease of storage through the winter. For the summer I leave it rigged. Less prone to damage if you have a rougher than planned landing as well but luckily that has not happened yet.
Fantastically clever. Thanks for sharing.
Looks simple but nice 👍

But why? Is this just for ease of repair or something ?
