I ordered and received new 12mm carbon rod, but it was still a few thousandths too large to fit into the stabs or the fuselage tube. While asking a friend who is a fantastic fabricator about having...

When I pulled the stab servos, they were mounted into this 1/8" layer of ply that was quite gnarled up and appears to have had the screws run in and out of it a couple hundred times as there was...

Well no luck on any photos of stab undersides in this thread. If anyone can share a pic or two of their stab/tube setup to show how far out the bolts are installed, that'd be great. Likewise, any...

Hey Nick, what method did you go with to latch that access panel? I ended up opening up one side and have it hinged in the front just like yours with a small magnet at the back - seems to hold okay,...

Well I think I might be on the right track with getting my gear aligned, waiting on my Robart wheels now to confirm fitment and solidify the mounts. Once they're in I'll finalize the air systems (see...

Thanks Jeremy. That also goes to show me just how different the mounts are from the hydraulic gear to the Matrix. Here you can see the epoxy bed. It is thicker in the front to form an angled shim...
