Well I guess that's that then! Carbon Fiber tube andphenolic sleeve works for me. Been working on the lower fuse blocks today, fitting them and mounting them. Finished the stab and elevators this morning. All I need now is to makea control horn that will connect to the control rodinternally as per Duane'ssuggestion and Ed's practice. BTW are anyof you guys planning on coming to theVRCS event in Floridain October(Pioneers of Radio Control)?
