Hi all,

First off - thanks for the suggestions for the tailplane airfoil, keep
em' coming. Right now I'm leaning towards the HD801, but I'll hold off
for a bit.

Next question: how to set up the full-flying elevator. The two ways that
I've done it are:

(a) single piece:

and

(b) the traditional joiner rod method, with a pivot rod near the neutral
point and foward articulation rod.

Are there any aerodynamic advantages and disadvantages to be considered.
I like "a" for the structural strength of a single-piece elevator, but
machining the pivot would be a pain.

Thanks,
Adam Till
