Jeff,
I believe the engine is a Quadra 42. As far as the elevator linkage, i would just build up a new one. I dont like relying on a set screw sittin on a small flat to hold, especially on something as important as ye elevator.
As far as glassing foam. Taking some lightweight dry spackle and mixing some water in it to make a runny mixture, then spreading that over the foam helps seal up some of the voids on the surface of the foam so it absorbs less resin.
Oh sheeze, now you tell me LOL! I have heard of mixing that stuff with duram's rock hard putty and adding water but not just adding water. I will definately have to try that sometime I can try it on my elevators and stabs still.
If my engine is a 42 I will keep it on there. If it is a 35, it is coming off, being sent away to make it ei and will go on a smaller 3d plane. Thanks for the info - keep em coming
