I installed the flap hinges very low on the flap and aft of the normal rotational axis. I rounded the front of the flap maintaining the lower angle. It appears that if the lower face of the flap is...

Got a late start this morning, but got most of the plan completed. I cut the alum angles for the gussets but decided to just use wood. Rear gear ribs were expanded with ply ribs glued on both sides...

Spent today designing and cutting the alum gear hold down ribs. This time I made sure there was no binding from one bolt down surface to the other. It does not take much to stall even the pneumatic...

I am with you on never buying another ARF - China junk. Too bad we can't build an ARF here in the states with some quality and reasonable cost. The product most likely would have to sell direct as...
