Default RE: Building the Proctor Nieuport 11

Abu, I thought I noticed a Nieuport fuselage in one of your recent Snipe posts. What scale is it and how did you do those elevator hinges?

Your aluminum outlines look great and I thought about it but chickened out because there are reports of the Proctor plane somersaulting over on its back occasionally. My only concern with aluminum is that it might bend out of shape when the plane goes over. The Nieuport 11 rudder is especially vulnerable because the highest point is aft of the rudder post.

Edit: You clever dawg, the hinges are plastic tie straps, no?
