Default RE: 130 Flaps

Oh, I forgot to mention a few things, sorry. You will have to cut whatever thickness you decide on for your hinge block from the elevator and stab for it to come out right. Thats how we do it on the big 3-D planes. The other thing is what glue to use.
Probond, gorilla glue or any polyurethane glue works well, just be careful because they foam, so use them sparingly. Epoxy always works well when gluing onto foam cores also.

I noticed two things about Bob's prototype C-130. The nacelles were larger than scale and the wing sat up high instead of being flush with the top of the fuse, so I asked him about it.
He said the nacelles were larger for the simple reason of getting the fuel tank and engine in each one. He really didn't have an answer about the wing, but he said if I wanted I could just cut the wing saddle out to make the wing flush. I wonder if anyone else has done this?


Thanks, Tommy D.
