Great project.

I recently discovered parts from Actobotics available from robot supply houses. They have bearing blocks, clamp hubs, and horns that you may be able to use. I recently posted some info here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-j...-elevator.html

Also the AMA LMA document has some info on computing servo forces for flying stabs.

Back in the 1970's I had about a 100 hours in a Cherokee 180 before the Air Force. It was a good flying airplane. Will be a great model.

Good luck on the project. Post some pictures!
