    One of the pilot in my club has done the same thing to his Carden his explanation as to the placement was the same . Get the aileron out of the dirty prop wash and provide a more cleaner air for the Ailerons .

    I'm guess that you use those 322 robart hinges in the airleon as well . This is good at preventing any binding with the airleons . I like your building methods Cam, just order some for the 35% extra thanks .....
