Bill, that's slicker than slick. I finally did something similar with
wire and a piece of maple motor mount but I like the adjustable feature
of your setup and the ability to glue both posts at once. With mine I
could only glue one post at a time. I had a jig made up similar to yours
when I glued the tubes to the motor sticks but hadn't though of how to do
it with the flight surfaces. Thanks a bunch for the photo.
