Cam, If you use the aluminum for the hinge spar will you have something inside? By the way the tube that fits perfectly inside that 1/4'' tube is the one SR provides for the rudder. They will ship out a piece. Of course that's easy for me to say I live 3 hours away from SR. I just relized the monster I may have created with my suggestions. I will feel terrible if you go through this effort and something happens. so I have a stake in this if for nothing else than my own piece of mind. So please bear with me if I feel a little concern for YOUR build. Will you be able to get us some shots of your wing alterations? Your idea should work well. Its simple and that's what makes it a great idea.

Iron Eagle, I am studiing your idea for doing the control horns. The idea that the fibers cure and become part of the rod is what has me thinking about it plus the fact that I am not 100% comfortable with my own horns. Thanks
