Very nice work. I have over 30 flights on mine. Great flying Jet. It is slower than most because of the flat bottom air foil. But they fly Great.

I still have mine sitting in pieces.  Looks like this will be my winter rebuild.  I plan to re-enforce and  glass the wings and do a new paint scheme for the whole plane.  Not sure of the engine choice yet.  Originally it was going to be a Rabbit, but that is going straight into my F-16 I'm currently (not) working on.

see if you like this idea.. closedup top alerion gap. cant see pin hinges. pin is removed for painting.replaced with one long pin.1/16th..no grove to cut.. cant see them when deflected. 1/64 ply glued to hing slots. then ca, and pined. ply wont splt like balsa grain does..used triangle stock on top of wing so it filled the gap and matched hinge thickness..</p>

Great!

But I don't understand. Guess I'll just have to send you my wings and stab. [sm=bananahead.gif]

From where or how do you get the pin in? Photo? Don't you have to align all hinges with the pin in before gluing?

Address so I can send you that stuff. [sm=biggrin.gif]
