ZOR,
I do not disagree with you but the height of the elevator is dictated by the plans so therefore I had five axes to deal with. All of the other items you have defined are within spec as it sits right now.
I also checked and double checked each measurement before I locked into place.

Hi Jim,
No doubt you have things well under control and doing a fine job.
As I wrote in my previous post "Not all six are always needed".
My post was more aimed at the writing that there was only three axis in geometry.
That is true and covered by my 1 to 3 but I wanted to consider that the orientation is also very important which I covered in 4 to 6.
I wrote before somewhere that I never glue the feathers.
I like to be able to adjust the decalage from stab to wings by shimming and be able to easily remove the feathers in the event of needed repairs.
I aim at having a model that is a free flight while being able to radio control it.
That was our aim when we started making our radios to conrol free flight models.
Ah! ___"The Good Old Times".
