Wow!!! I do like what you have done with the décor of your place there Kelly. There is a....a, well just a sense of....dang, can't put my finger on it. A certain "air" about your place. (air-plane)

Hey Kelly,

As a matter of fact....we are. Twin sons of different mothers.

And have you seen any of brother Rob's living room pics??? Early American Plane .

Just dusting the web off...Pun intended.....

Have the plane in the shop to put stickers on and get the cowl off. Had my remote choke fail. Ball link stripped. What I did find that could have cost the plane is that two of 4 rudder hinges broke. So I have decided to go ahead and remove it and install a pin hinge system like on my Pilot Edge. One piece of wire rod captures both sides of stab and rudder hinge halves. I will also be installing the new H50B Blue Bird servos. I had mentioned at the beginning of this thread that I felt the elevator throw was a tad limited. It is. Fix'n that too.

Rudder servo in rudder coming off .

Got all the old hinges removed. Found that the stab has very little material inside the hinge holes and laterally so pin hinging is not going to happen. Just another obstacle to be deal with. This plane has had a bunch. Going to open the stab on its hinge line and epoxy in a hard balsa stringer about 1/2"w x 1/2"d x 12 1/2" long.

Use gorilla glue they will stay put

Epoxy will have to do. But I will be adding 2 more hinges (Bottom and Top). I have epoxied in 3/8" square hard stock to make new hinge bores.

Just think of it Kelly. Though you've had to make some revisions and updates, once done you'll know she ain't gonna fall apart in the sky. That's a good thing. I am however holding my breath she doesn't get a taste of the starting table blues such as a certain Pilot Edge that shall remain nameless. Ooops, I mentioned it didn't I?
