Yo Rate1..I'm still here and now retired but with a brand new computing box...the old one has rendered me almost bald now !

Anyway, I promised you some piccies of my elevator hinges etc so here they are...bit out of focus but you'll get the idea. Buried in the elevator LE between each hinge are lengths of Sullivan goldenrod inners which act as the hinge beaing in the elevator. The Hinge itself is a close fitting (inside the goldenrod) length of music wire which is silver soldered to a bored out cap screw as pictured....this screws into a "tee" nut which is buried in the tip rib of each elevator half...it'll be "locked" with silicone cement to stop it from coming out (ouch!). The hinges themselves are pieces of CFRP sheet (each one of three per side slightly bigger than its neighbour. I'll cobble up a sketch of the elevator cross-section so you can better see how I did it. Ailerons and Rudde will be accomplished similarly. More anon and hope you enjoy your full size experiences in one of my associated (Boeing) products...you didn't say which dash number of '37!

Cheers
