Modifications to Original Design

Using the laminated cardstock for the Horizontal Stabilizer and Elevator produced an issue with the full span Elevator.

Old way of using laminated cardstock created a hinge that did not allow full travel of the Elevator at the tips.

Elevator was cut along the hinge line, Hinge (dashed line) part of Elevator was cut off and the newer system was installed as shown in the photos.

Carbon fiber tubing allows full deflection as well as making the hinge/elevator assembly stiffer/stronger.

Fuel parts should be here today! Additional photo shows fuel can mount. Temporary rubber bands holding the can in place while test fitting the nosecone etc. for clearance.

Best regards,
Mike Bauer
