like anything else, it takes a while to get the first one done properly, then you simply repeat the process. But I would say about an hour each set, now that I have the right numbers , but that is not installed yet. I need a total of 4 of these for the elevator, and two for the rudder. The ailerons are a totally different type.



As for deflection, I haven't measured yet but I assure you it will be plenty, mind you not for 3D flying, LOL

I would like to know from everyone, if you want more detailed pictures on how I make certain things or just the parts finished, I don't want to bore anyone

all 4 stab/elevator hinges done, not shown in the pictures are the mounting holes also done

this is an amazing build thread....thanks for sharing...more detail the better, IMHO!



excellent shop skills

i was thinking this morning if i could bring the elevator linkages for my Cap into the fuselage like full scale planes would have it just to do something trick but I talked myself out of it. looking at your work i'm thinking i gave up too easily! might have to reconsider now.

Rodger after watching your build of the Pitts over on the other site and I think I'm in the same boat as bartman. I have been wanting a mill and lathe for quite a while but watching your builds and what you can do makes me want them even more.

The more details the better! That's how I learn to make my builds better.
