| pfinn | Scratch Built Holiday | Build | 17-Oct-19 16:17 |  | | Views : 762 | | Added a carbon fiber square tube to help transfer some of the torsional load and support the soon to be installed control pin (or tube, haven't decided yet) and as well as beef up the structure a bit for the "not so graceful" end of flights! ;) |
| pfinn | Scratch Built Holiday | Build | 17-Oct-19 16:11 |  | | Views : 786 | | The "Pivot" tube is 5mm I.D. brass. The joiner is Carbon Fiber. Hard balsa saddles the brass tube and the ends are wrapped with Kevlar tow. Another pin will be added about 2.5 inches behind the pivot for control. |

| edbecky | Guillows Series 1000 - F4U Corsair | Build | 17-Oct-19 12:28 |  | | Views : 4741 | | I made a simple variation of John's bearing solution. Slipped painted part of a straw over the dowel. Used bending part of the straw to keep it from sliding out. Inserted and glued straw to the model. Works well. |
