RE: morane-eindecker thingy
I didn't have a clear photograph or drawing of the skid-support/ rudder-hinge pylon contraption. My main concern was the that the rudder (hinge points) would end up aligned to each other, absolutely vertical, aligned to the fuse. THat is a lot of aligning. So my idea, to have the upper and lower rudder hinge points start out as a single tube which is put through the horizontal tube and goes down ~1/2inch into a hole drilled with the Dremel-drill press into the wood fixture. Then the pylon struts are soldered on. The pylon supports are two pieces, i.e. on each side the front and rear strut is a single bent piece. WHile the thing is still jigged up, the hinge tubes for the stabilizer are soldered on and the alignment is ensured by putting the tube through both hinges while they are soldered. Finally, the golden moment, it can be bolted onto the fuse with just a little bit of fuss to get the front struts aligned to the fuse, and using the wood block to help with alignment.
