hello,
I have a question for those who have been here before me.
I am building a RidgeRunner 3S and the horizontal tail is braced by 4130 tubes, with the ends smashed flat to accept a 3/16" bolt
my first attempt to get as close to perfect….failed my tolerances
I was thinking why not make the bolt holes at the horizontal stab adjustable as to get it as perfect as possible, i.e. level and no twist
I bought weld-in threaded rod from aircraft spruce and heim looking ends, my question is will this allow the horizontal stab to flex (BAD)
or do you think that it will resist rotation?
edit: the threaded ends would be at the bottom of the picture, unscrew both to raise the stab, unscrew or screw in one to get twist out
