Excelleron 90

[Eddie Batchelor]

Engine    YS 110  definitely   and move the tank back to the CG location

I used the metal hinges glued in with epoxy. The slots were too large to use
CA hinges. I've heard of people filling the slots & recutting for CA hinges.
I've had NO issues with the metal hinges and I've probably stress tested my
plane more than most  <G>
After namy flights and a few deadstick "offRunwy" landings, I had one
aileron linkage come loose - Fortunately I heard the flutter & recgonised
the sound. Landed and tightened everything up and all was well. The hinges
took a pretty good stress test and held fine.

Yes the covering job is Very Good and BTW  it is Ultracote.

  When the box arrived last night after work.  Opened and what a pretty
covering job.  Man I wish I could be this good at covering.

  So what engine would You use?

  It comes with metal hinges, which I have never seen before.  Would you
repalce them and with what?
