When I score my hinge lines I but an exacto blade backwards in the handle. This leaves the square end that will scrape rather than cut and will be about 1/32 wide allowing better flexing in the hinge. Mike - Original Message - From: George Voss [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED];

I don't think I would use anything less then the 81's for ailerons. Prob would go with metal gears, as I'm not that good a pilot. I also like the 85MG for flaps on a 2-meter. .bc([EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.widomaker.com/~conk Williamsburg, VA 23185 On Fri, 16 Apr 2004,

Hi Brent, I am using Futaba S3103( 3106 or 3107, they are all the same and very similar to Hitec HS55 ) on the ailerons of my 1.5m all-molded mini Corado sloper. Never had any problem in flight or launching with strong Hi-start but the aileron servos ALWAYS strip if the plane hits the ground hard

I've, too, had some weird experiences with Futaba. 2 years ago I bought a 9C and tried to set it up with a full house sailplane with V-tail. It would not work and when I called Hobbico they advised that there was a bug in the program that would not allow it to work with a V-tail. They traded

Hmmm. The only v-tail bug I've ever heard about involved elevator compensation on a v-tail when crow was used (one side of the v-tail would more more then the other). I know lots of people who use the 9C on a v-tail full house glider with no problems. At 09:17 AM 4/19/04 -0500, Robert Samuels

As I understand it, the current 9C does allow V-tail in a full house sailplane. It was the first run of the 9Cs that had the V-tail/sailplane bug. The current ones still have the rudder trim reversal bug. Robert Samuels, St. Louis

Oscar, I would think the best solution to your problem will be to cut flaps into the trailing edge of the inner wing panels. Just cut them out, face them with balsa, face the new trailing edge of the wing with balsa, add 2 metal geared servos such as HS85MG, recover everything add a tape hinge
