Hmmm.  I see now that my question on hinging was poorly crafted. I'll try from a different direction  Smiley

What sort of hinges are you using?


At the moment there are little pieces of hot hinge in there. Later I'll replacement then with robart hinges.

These are the horns I'm going to use on all the flying surfaces.
So I made a crude jig to make sure that everything is the same.

Really Light!
Are you using any carbon tape inside fuse?
Should be a rocket.

methinks this needs more longerons
not sure CF will do the trick
the covering will go into diagonal tension and prodide some torsional stidffness
but a heavy landing might
do the break back mountain thing
only Al won't be gay about it

Now don't forget there's a huge turtle deck to go on the top yet. There should be all kinds of strength in there then.

Dan, at this point there isn't any carbon in the fuse. That may change.
It may be quick but I'm trying to give the DA 85 a fighting chance. It's a small engine for this plane.
