I'm just vacillating the stab!
Graham's not around to cut the cores..... so, I used some old Jart cores and sanded them to suit! Now... A full flying stab or hinged? They both come with their own set of challenges! I'll bag it over the weekend. It should be downhill from there! I'll bring it over after that! J |

Did a lot of thinking on the elevator and rudder for my new design .
This is what i am going to use on elevator . Mad cam can be passed into the fuse with the push rod then you slide the square carbon axle through it then put you tails on . The only thing i haven't worked out properly is how to make the bearing support,needs more thinking I have made a madcam with circuit board and fishing trace ,amazing no slop design it can go 180. Hope this helps ,Shane |

I'd like to see what you come up with the stab bearing plate Shane.
Also the push rod/cam connection..... The stab is in the vac bag. A carbon cloth is a bit heavier than expected, so it's just glass. I'll paint it later. Generally things have got out of hand weight wise! I expect the AUW at about 950g I'll work on the next one..... At least I know where it is! |

You want - I make !!!!
Another wing and tail feathers will be delivered tomorrow. This wing is much prettier than the last one. The core is glued, sanded and shaped, ready to bag. See you tomorrow J Graham |

Well done Graham!
The current wing set is basically a Le Fish configuration..... No offence intended, but they are a bit brutish. I'm sure we can give her more sensuous lines and still get some performance going! |
