<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>Hi </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>I would also like some info,
especially on the aerodynamic advantage/disadvantage/effect of top hinged vs.
centre hinged control surfaces. I usually build an integral hinge
(Kevlar/pealply) during the sheeting process of my wings
& stabs. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>Regards</FONT></DIV>

Elevators</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm building the CA Models Widebody 60/90, and it
calls for hinging the ailerons and elevators from the top, as opposed to the
standard middle hinge, double bevel type.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've never done this before, and am a bit curious
about the effects of hinging the surfaces this way, and also the actual steps,
especially the location and direction of the hinge points themselves.
These are foam wings, in case that wasn't clear.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can you guys help me out here, with maybe some
general instructions, or a link to them?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance,</FONT></DIV>
