First up is compiling the components needed for the elevator torque rod and hinges.

The torque rod will be solid 1/4" aluminum rod with a 1/4" controll arm from Dreamworks.



Three hinges per side, two G-10 pined hinges and one sealed 1/4""x5/8" ball bearing at the control horn.



The ruder will have two pined G-10 hinges and one sealed bearing hinge at the control linkage.

the G-10 hinges will be built and temp installed to a mock up frame before they get installed to the control surfaces. This will allow tuning and testing of the instillation and method of being able to install and remove the pins.

Currently the build schedule/ plan is to start with the stab and wings, then the fuselage.
