Default RE: Midwest Extra 300xs Build

After the bevels were planed and sanded, I drilled the 3/16" (I think) holes for all the hinge pins. Actually I stepped up to this size in steps using a 1/8" first and then the 3/16" on all the holes. You might have noticed that I removed the 6-32 control horn bolt from the aileron. I did this because earlier on I had decided to use 8-32 hardware and 4-40 connectors so installing the 6-32 horn was a mistake. I plan on using carbon fiber .188 rods with the ends shown in post# 153. I ordered these the other day and they look like a pretty clean setup to me. I will also be using the Dubro 4-40 ball joints on the servo end of the rod, and probably RCL horns and connectors at the control surface end of the rod.

Somehow I uploaded the wrong picture??
