I hope so, the glider fleet is down to one at the moment and this sucker is using up all my repair time.   Still following your Spitfire build, looking forward to the maiden, just a bit embarrassed mine's still sitting on the top shelf gathering dust   Tom

  Well after lots of fiddling about finally got the elevator push rod bent in the right place.   Heat shrinking on servo extensions, I had to use two to get to the other end of the fuse about 500mm altogether.   Took a couple of goes and a lot of fettling but finally got it all working and wicked some CA to hold the servo in place, also had to make the servo opening bigger as well to get it all to line up. It is slop free, so hopefully it will work great, but a lot of effort and this was supposed to be the easier servo to fit, god knows how you fitter the larger one shown in the instructions   Here is the floating push-rod, it does move about because I had to file away more of the fuse away, hence the previous comment of moving the horn nearer the hinge line. There would be less float if I hadn't filed so much fuse away, but its slop free so maybe I'm being over fussy?   Another shot, this arrangement only works because it is threaded at the other end, quite clever really, but difficult to build, still it wouldn't be fun if it was easy   The tail feathers are slotted onto their pins and then thin CA wicked into the joins.   Another shot from underneath, just the fuse to finish now but I need some lead shot to do that, better get ordering more stuff.   Cheers   Tom @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);

  You make up a mock elevator push-rod so that you can mark the elevator for the horn.   The rear stab is temporarily held in place using metal pins, the holes are a little undersized and you'll need a 3mm drill to open then up.   The hole in the horn is also undersized, unfortunately its very close to the edge, so you have to carefully tease out the hole be slowly elongating it until you can fit the correct size drill without cutting any closer. Don't want the horn to let go at 300mph!   Finally, she fits!   Carefully route out a slot for the horn, the instructions say to place the horn in the middle of the elevator, with hindsight I would move it closer to the hinge line by 2mm otherwise you have to open up the slot in the fuse to get it to work   Epoxy in, and leave to go off. I went out for a couple of hours this afternoon while it was drying to fly the Vector 3, flew well @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);
