David wanted pictures so here is the first one. I milled/ground/blasted/plasma'd but mostly Dremeled the back edge of the fixed planes to accept a tube for the pivot rod to go in. Tube ordered as I didn't have exactly what I needed. In the mean time I will work on the pintle/gudgeon (I had to look that up) arrangement to secure the outer end of the inner planes.

Hey, Steve. Would you send me drawings of the THRESHER's vertical stabilizers in relation to the horizontal stabilizers they were affixed to? Thanks. Want to have my 1/96 and 1/72 THRESHER's ready for Red Clay.

How about this? Of course this is what I did for mine. Not saying it is right. Scale is 1/48 and dimensions are in metric because it is just easier. Sorry.

You are most welcome. Spent time today designing and printing the gudgeons. Got the starboard side roughed in. They will be secured with small screws thus allowing them to be removable. The tubing I need to install for the tip planes will be here tomorrow and once secured I can sand the gudgeon to its final shape and fill any gaps that may remain.

Thanks. Yeah as much as possible I try to build my subs with the ability to remove and repair or replace in the event I prang something.Comment
