Heliplane, I used the 2-56 hardware that came with the kit. I have not put hinge tape on yet but plan to. I just can't figure out why mine is 5lbs. My scale may be wrong. It is an old baby scale. I need to get a digital scale.
Mine came out at 5 lbs also ! Maybe ours are heavier then others or our scales are bad
Do not put the 2-56 supplied rod on the rudder. It will bend like a Banana under load ! Here I would strongly suggest a 4-40 push rod. Just my $0.02
