That's normal Toto. From the pictures we can come up with a strategy for putting it right. Just waiting for the pictures. Steve -

Any updates Toto? -
The hinges are Kavan Hinges - Small (26x11mm) 10pcs KAV0129, Model Shop Leeds my first thought was they are small, so I put four on the first elevator half. I am now thinking these Kavan Pin Hinge Standard 34 x16 mm, 1-11/32x5/8, 20 pcs. KAV0073/20, Model Shop Leeds would be better for this size of model. Any thoughts? Steve

Yes, the OZ plan is different in some ways. It looks to me that the OZ plan and article are the original design whereas my plan is a more recent kit plan possibly enlarged. That's my thinking so if I make any changes then I am not tinkering with the original design. 🤣 Time for some hinges. Steve

and a bit of shaping.

When do you plug the NiMh into the rx Toto. Doing this will damage the ESC.

Just read my next assembly (the sequel) Domino. There are many posts saying do not use a separate rx battery but if you wish to then disconnect the red wire from the ESC plug. I assume that if the red wire is not disconnected then power from the RX Nimh will damage the ESC.
-
Yes, first electric model IDB. Not sure of the details now but I thought it was the first ESC failure. @totoare you saying the ESC was unplugged from the receiver before the NiMh was connected to the receiver?
-
@totoare you saying you plugged a rx Nimh pack into the receiver Batt port with the ESC connected to the receiver and if so, how often have you done this? Steve

One built up elevator.

There were five attempts, all blocked by the bank, GROVESNOR £35, 10, Another gambling site, Just Eat and Uber. None were succeeded because they are new for this card and my bank requires second authentication for new firms. The first was at 23:58 and my phone was asleep. I am thinking that if I had used any of these sites they would not have been blocked, then it would be for me to check my statement and alert the Bank. Talking to the Bank I was told never allow card details to be stored by the web site as this is a common method used to steal users details.
-
Me too. £35 to GROVESNOR then four more including Jetfrog. I emptied the account before they could. New card is on the way.😊

I was going to sheet the elevators but not now. Cap strips and ribs with local re-enforcements where needed should be strong enough.
-
No but I will now.🤔

Thanks John, as it happens the tip sheet had gaps, so I dampened the top and used a covering iron on 110 deg. C and like magic the old glue had a second try when warmed up. I am using the Peter Miller method for the leading edge. Loads of sanding later, this is what the top looks like. Having run out of enthusiasm for sanding, I am looking at the elevator construction. With a 1/16" sheet top and bottom 3/8" balsa is needed for a neat fit. The plan says 1/4" sheet tapered to the TE, that's a lot of balsa going in the bin, the OZ plan says 5/16" which is even more going in the bin. Not wanting to feel guilty over the waste, and not having a Hamster, I am going to make it built up. 1/2" x 3/8" LE to start with, 1/4" ribs and extra balsa for the joiner. We will see tomorrow.
