    Default Re: Ha I over shrunk my elevator

    I did over shrink it a bit, I took it to 275 degrees with 2.7oz fabric, but when I was studying it for a while I noticed the biggest problem was the two hinges were not welded on properly they were at a slight angle and I did not notice it during building because I did not install the plastic bushings till final assembly, that's when the binding started, so I cut the hinges off last night and re welded them where they were meant to be, I pulled a string line through all the holes and got a perfect strait line and now I have a very smooth travailing elevator and I like it, put the landing gear on this morning here is a pic,

    Oh and my building technicians are quite good but I am far from perfect and learn from my mistakes, maybe I should spend less time building and more time on this forum huh.
