Would anyone who has assembled one chime in and tell me a little bit about that elevator joiner/hinge line concern?
I had to alter the fit of the joiner so that both halves were in line with one another. The elevator hinge line is slightly offset so it's a bit proud on the top of the stab, but it's equal all the way across the surface, so I don't suppose it affects the flight too much. But since I'm relatively new to the sport and this is my first serious balsa plane, take what I say with a grain of salt.
I had been looking at what 5s pattern plane to buy for over a year, had narrowed it down to the 50e vs. Osiris. I went with the Osiris after seeing the
video and seeing the high level of
engagement and support of the community and the owner of 3d hobby shop on rcgroups. By all accounts, I made the right choice.
