<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am flying this way for about 10 years. My method
for hooking up the ailerons or elevator is to use the wing cover (monokote or
other) as the hinge. All you need is to make sure that the bottom cover and the
top one are joint together at the hinge line.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With this method you get no gap aileron which has
better response and the wing has a very nice one panel top
view.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can send some photos off list.</FONT></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>
