While taking photos I looked things over close again. The ailerons and elevator are pretty solid, as good as any
other planes I have built. The rudder has some play in the hinge probably more than it should have. I have the idea
to disconnect the rudder control and pin the rudder so it can't move then fly. Maybe if the rudder is fluttering that's why
I haven't seen the flutter and it hasn't destroyed itself. I have had smaller planes with just aileron
and elevator control but have never seen or heard of a plane of this size with only aileron and elevator control. Does anyone see
any problems with trying this.
