IMG_0220.jpgIMG_0221.jpgIMG_0228.jpgThe elevators are 1/8th balsa with 1/16 "ribs" added to the top and bottom surfaces. The trailing edge of the stab is grooved to accept the leading edge of the elevators to assure a nice tight fit and small gap between them. DuBro hinge tools were used to cut slots in the surfaces, and then small hinges installed. Happy with the finished product.

Outer wings are done, so it's on to the landing gear.  Since the brass threaded inserts worked so well for the L-39, they're going into the Bronco.
I've got a bit more to work with so I'm using a 3mm x 6mm threaded insert this time.
But, there's always something.
Pushing that long an insert through melting plastic allowed that melting plastic to feed into the open end of the insert.  Completely filled the 3mm interior.
So, I did what anyone else with this problem would have done... I left to watch a movie.  The Beekeeper with Jason Statham... excellent.
When I came back, I took a 3mm long set screw and screwed it into the threaded insert flush with the end.  Now, while melting, the plastic has no where to go but around the insert.
Remove the 3mm set screw and all is clear.

Ok thank you but I'm looking at it now, is there any difference in the ar 630 or the ar 631. If so is the ar 631 worth it?
