What have you done to prevent the elevon striking the TE of the wing ?
I have put some gap seal tape, that insures that the elevon always is tucked under the TE of the wing....... Wil this work ok ?

Todd,
I've got Tam's intakes and have done your mods to install them. I have one area of concern....The gap between the intakes (the splitter area) is rather large on my plane after installing the intakes. (About 3/16 to 1/4 inch) What did you use as an intake splitter, to fill the gap between the intakes. A pic would be nice!!!
It's gonna be a day or two before I can post pics of the lights or the elevon hinge mod....Things are hectic at work and I've been having to come in early to work overtime.[&o]
Kevin
PS---Todd, did you get your stand yet???

Kevin,
Here is what I did .... I took some 1/4" balsa and cut it to the rough shape I wanted, I glued 1/4 x 3/8" spruce stick to the back edge. I then shaped the splitter to fit and made sure I left enough clearance to still remove the upper lip center screw. Once I had the splitter shaped I laminated both sides with 1/16th ply so the edge of the ply butted up against the intakes but the 1/4 spruce slid between the intakes. I then glassd the splitter and painted it. The splitter is held in place just like the intakes with BVM flush mount screws. Plane was in the trailer so I hope these shots are clear enough to make the above make sense..... Stand showed up today, looks good! Thanks again , I owe you one
Let me know if you need more detail on the splitter...
