Thank you, interesting reply, my only problem is that I already glued the hinges to the elevator with CA prior to noticing this, i dont want to rip up the elevator trying to undo it, but i really would like to use your method. Also about your CG issue did you in the end up using the manuals recommended 30mm-40mm from the leading edge? Also what throws do you recommend for the first flight, i hear everyone saying set them low, but how low? especially the elevator, i dont want to go too low because if the plane is nose heavy i dont want to run out of elevaator authority mainly on landing and nose it over. Also, I am going to the hobby shop today i will look for that prop. Thanks in advance.
