I made the flap hinges from 1/8" brown G10 board. The pivot pins are 4-40 bolts with locknuts.

The flaps and hinges are look so neat on your Me 110.
I just got the board, not G-10 but I think should be very similar, gotta try it on my SBD ailerons.

Status: offline 		Thanks, Wallace, I'm building the ailerons now and I'm going to do it the same way, except the plan shows the hinge pivot a little further back from the LE of the aileron. I guess that is because it goes up as well as down.

Status: offline 		A friend of mine and I are building a P-38 (check out "Ziroli P-38 construction" string), I wanted to do an FW-190 but we decided on doing a twin instead. Once we get the 38 done, then I'm looking at the 190. Have always been facinated with German aircraft. Are there any plans that you know of out there for a JU-88? That would be a cool aircraft!

Chris.

Status: offline 		Falconjet,

I've been following your P38 build with great interest. I just got the Ju88 plans from Don Smith recently. It's really nice. There seems to be more construction info on them than the 110 plans. I would have built the Ju88 first but I already had the cowls and canopy for the 110. Maybe next year. Besides I don't think he has the accessories available for the Ju88 yet.

I will order a set of the Don Smith ju-88 plan,do you know what kind of rotating scale retracts that will fit this plane?
I am going to ask PCK to cut it fore me and i am going to built the a5 version of the ju-88.

Status: offline 		Ketil,

I'm not sure exactly what retracts would work. I didn't study the plan that closely, but Robart probably has something that will work. You can look on their website. They have a few different variations of the rotating ones.

The plane looks like a pair of Zenoah G26s would work nicely, or something similar.

Keep us all posted as you build it!

Jim
