Stabilizer and Elevators
Hinges are glued in place with thin CA
I used two FUTABA BLS 173 SVI for the elevators and NISHIOKA control horns instead of the ones included in the kit
After positioning them and drilling the holes for the screws, I remove some covering material and use a pin before dropping some thin CA to reinforce the balsa.
I proceeded like this for all my planes and had no issue ….. until now
I use the standard Futaba horns and choice the arm the most parallel to the moving surface leading edge, then adjust with the SBUS, not the sub trim
Ball link and old red KATO ball bearings for the commands.
I ended up with this sticking foam I purchased in a Japanese store when shopping with GIICHI NARUKE and KEN HIROSE a few years ago . RIP NARUKE San.
I add a series of pictures of one of my LEADER G stab showing how to position the control horn with precision.
