ORIGINAL: scale only 4 me

One thing you might notice is the TE of the Stab and the LE of the ELV., the covering is kind of transparent and you can see that they didn't add any hinge blocks to the 5/8'' thick TE/LE... I tried a Robart hinge point and it will only grab with two barbs, not good.. The rudder is the same way, no blocking for a pin style hinge....

I ended up changing the elevator hinges also, they did get sloppy,, sorry I forgot to mention that before, I used those same robart hinges and they've help up just fine. I have no fear they'll ever pull out
Scale,
I was right in my thinking then, thanks for confirming my thoughts on them...

We have our club meeting tonight, I'm going to bringthe pitts for show and tell.. Figure I will show themthe plane now and then when i finish it..
