Hi Steve and Pete
Just wondering where you got this 5 hinge requirement from? It may have
applied under the old Australian ABAA (Amateur Built Aircraft Approval) but
I don't recall it. In any case the ABAA is now obsolete and replaced by
Experimental. Under the latter, provided you can convince
Steve,
If you're wanting to get an Australian CoA for the aircraft then you
might have to refit to the Aus. standard of 5 hinge points along the
Horizontal.
Cheers.
Pete.

named Mel Locke from Calgary Alberta
they are not rod ends like Dr. Dean suggested
and personally I like his idea better. They
were easier to do than what I did on my
KR1. I'm still amazed that I got my hinge
