Thanks guys. Yeah, I missed the "winter" bit there Ed -we fly all year round here so I forget you have a "building season". Flying all year round is tough you know, as you need to build faster than you crash...
I do get what you mean with the hinges and it seems logical, I'll do a test jig and make a drilling guide to suit. Also ordering some turnbuckles etc. I was thinking of putting on a Proctor pulley up top just for looks too, if I can somehow make it look like the cables actually go through it. (Saw them on Tower's site - look good and pretty cheap too).
Looks like I'll have to choose a different scheme to you guys eh! Plenty to choose from in my references so shouldn't be too hard.
Thanks again for the info guys.
Cheers,
Cam
