It should be one inch. Mine is one inch and only require like a few mm move to turn sharply

Thanks for the reply. I ended up going with 25mm and stopping 30mm on the hinge line from the tailplane tip.

No not yet, still flying my quick V6 planes.
summer weather is under way here now and I've started doing a few house reservations and that slows down my modeling big time.

My main plane which has I believed broken in engine, crashed , on pole 2, my caller stand too close and blocked my view, too late to correct the path and I hit a tree on entering pole 3.
Finished no 3 with the camo backup plane but with OS engine instead, which is a tad slower and I somehow managed to ran it lean and destroyed the piston and liner

Have another V6 built and almost finished a superT Hurricane. Have the nationals pylon on 1 january 2024.
Have a question is the prop on the camo coloured Q500 a 9.5 x 7N or a 9.5 X 7.5N APC?
Also i'm down to my last 3 merlin 2016 glow plugs, what plugs are you using and where can I buy them?
