I bent a rod into a U shape and connected the elevator halves together. In combination with the Y rod set up it is tight and should be fine. I also glued carbon fiber rods inside the stock pushrod shafts to stiffen them up and made a guide for the elevator about half way back in the fuse. Make sure you do not count on glue alone to hold the plastic ends in the pushrod tubes. Either make a hole and bend the rod to lock it in, or drill a hole and put a bolt through it along with the glue. CA seems to work as good as anything to hold them in place.

With my OS 1.60FX and a 17X10 prop I estimate this plane will do about 120 mph. Any flutter in the surfaces could be fatal.

I'm still waiting for some good weather to get my maiden in.
