Robin I am using the Dr Dean hinges on the rudder, and the engineer expressed concern that the lateral forces on the rod end needed to be resisted. Thoroughly over the top, but a small price to pay. I am going to have to seal the inside of the blocks very carefully to avoid them being a corrosion trap. I used AN3 bolts.

Peter, What was the reasoning behind the hardwood blooks, in the orignal RR only use 0.90 aluminium. What was the dia of the bolts that held the rod ends onto the spars , I want to use 3/16th dia.

He has signed off all the gluing and foaming and the dr Dean hinges on my rudder. I have been made to put hardwood blocks to support the stem of the rod ends see photos on my website www.peterskr2s.co.uk. All my other mods have been approved. I have also been making the seat, with blue styrofoam and a layer of bid both sides, it is fantastically strong and very light. photos soon. I'll soon be able to start glassing the tail and wings, when the weather gets a bit warmer.
