Wow! You have got that far in the build in the time it has took me to paint the living room with the first sealer coat after being plaster skimmed. :whistle: Taking a break now after cleaning rollers and unpainting myself. ;)

Power will be a DLE35RA.

With regards to hinges my Pennzoil has Kavan flat hinges. I had thought about Robart type because you can get the control surfaces closer to the stab, wing, rudder. My concern was there may not be enough wood for Robarts allowing for the slight counter-bored holes. I don't mind Pete, if Robarts are good to go then use them. You have the experience so I'll leave it you.
