Thanks Dion,
Tom
O....K..!
Good Job on the stab installation Mr. Z! You and Hal are sure hard to keep up with. I think instead of my Hellcat being a Grumman or General Motors version, it may end up being more of a Yugo variety...but I'm loving it!
I'm still working on the one piece stab slide-in idea, and trying to keep the linkages inside the tail while watching my weight. I'm doing glass cloth without the inside foam, and hoping that it will be strong enough.
Also wanted to thank you for sharing the control surfaces hinge templates! They are really slick and well worth the effort!!! THANK YOU< THANK YOU< THANK YOU!!!!!
It's really fun to see an ARF getting ripped and then coming back into such an impressive scale transformation! Which one are you/we going to bash next???
Thanks C.P.! Can't keep up can ya?
Looking forward to see what you come up with on your stab. The foam does not add much, most was cut out. You're welcome on the templates, scale hinges are the way to go. I doubt I'll buy many commercial hinges again, depends on the application but I think the G-10 ones are much easier to install and much stronger.
I absolutely enjoyed this build so much I do think I want to do another ARF! Imagine that!
Chopping this thing up gave me great pleasure! Now all the parts both stock and custom will come back together and I'm hoping it will be impressive! I'm still wondering what I'll have when it's all done!
Thanks again,
Dion
