Glue the dowel in the canopy leaving a hole in the former. That way you'll be able to see the dowel lining up with the hole.

Chris

Firstly let me say that you worry too much :)

Secondly, can I suggest a solution.

Face both ends of the elevator with 1mm ply, this will not only make up the shortfall, but provide an elevator tip that's far more resistant to damage.

2 birds, 1 stone!

If you feel you need to increase my karma rating for this, that's fine ;)

Done, but you realise it's now six hours before I can drop Chris 73's Karma again :evil:

But yes, I do worry too much!

How in heaven and earth did Gromit manage to get MINUS -43 Karma? Could this be a record?

Unbelievable, your really not trying very hard Chris, only down to -10!!

I am insulted that you are putting in so little effort at reducing my karma

It beggars belief that you have made so much effort to become the highest "Negative" on this Forum. I am not sure whether it is a record as there is no way of checking. Maybe, just maybe could you as much effort towards "Positive" just a little? :lol:

As a footnote I have been 5 since the beginning of time :huh: , I think it might be stuck.

I was about to write a lengthy and well documented update about, in no particular order, the twists and turns of my aileron endeavours, a leading edge profile jig, fitting of the snakes, and the inner turmoil I'm currently going though to decided whether to make it a pure sloper, or continue with my original plan to make it an electric glider... But then I remembered a remark that cut to the bone, and from someone who I was just developing the merest hint of respect for :huh: :

This is like an antidote to a Chris001 build thread ; )


It appears taking 10 months to put together a laser cut kit glider is just not fast enough for some ;)
