If you think your aileron hinges are too tight you can get away with sellotape on the top only. If you worry that this is not enough you can add three small pieces of tape, say 10mm wide, to the bottom...one at either end and one in the middle. One of my ailerons is done this way...the other moved freely and has tape on the top and bottom.

Apart from replacing the aileron servo, it's done.



I redid all the heatshrink linkages, and faffed quite a bit with the canopy latch. The wing hinging didn't feel stiff to me so I didn't re do them... So I think all that's left is sorting out some nose lead, which I think my co-conspirator is helping me out with, and then to throw it off a slope!

So onto the next build:

For some reason my Minus looks very out of focus on the forum.

In or out of focus, it looks nice and I'm sure you'll enjoy flying it. Just need the weather to cooperate now.

I'm sure we'll get some breezy days, and this little glider will open up a new style of flying for me which is exciting.

It'll be interesting to see how much different the acrobatic version flies, with it's shorter wing and symmetrical aerofoil.

I need to get off my mojo back so it's finished in time to find out
