RE: Larger Revolver
Jet22 -
On which plane did you lose a horizontal stabilizer - the 59 or 70? Mine was the first that I'd heard of. Did either flap pull out of it's hinges? On mine I don't think it was because the joint wasn't strong enough - I think, as I said, it was the sudden transfer of load to one side after losing the one flap - just a guess, of course. But WILL be using Robart hinges on all going forward! And you're right - I had SO much fun flying this plane with the new engine that I'm not that upset, and can't wait to get it into the next Rev 70 and get off the ground. btw - exactly how would you "beef up" that stabilizer joint? (other than 30 min epoxy with fiberglass powder).
