Default RE: H9 Aresti question

....as I recall, the elevator caused the horiz. stab to break where
it attached to the fuse. You can see in the picture I posted that
I cut the covering back and glued the stab back solidly to the fuse.
The covering I had on hand didn't match the original color perfectly
but at that point I was happy to still have the airplane in one piece
after the audible flutter.

The hinges held up fine, I believe, and the vertical stab and rudder
were not effected.

That plane is a "snapper".....that is to say, if you pull back too
much elevator you will be rewarded with a near perfect unexpected
snap roll. [:@]
