Hello: I have been on the lookout for an extra Hobie fuse for my set of 10ft wings for a long time. Found one on EBay - got it all cleaned up, painted, new canopy, etc ---- I got the wings out and the wing rod ---- UHHGGGGGGGGG - the brass insert in fuse is about 3/64 too small. I do not think that my present fuse is standard - for whatever that means.
Questions: 1) Should I ream out fuse and insert a new brass tube to fit normal hobie wing rod. 2) Should I insert brass tubes in wings tubes to reduce the ID to the fuse's ID and buy a new wing rod. I made a larger set of stabs and rudder back in 70's - grey foam/1/64 ply, etc.,look just like originals, but it means a lot of field work to change wings. The 10 footers fly much better with a larger rudder and stabs. I do not want to lose these wings. TIA, Jim Jim Ealy Education by Demonstration RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
