Thanks for the comments, All.
John, yes the stick is very straight. I went through all the sticks at the hobby shop to get a straight one, and I verified it on a straight edge when I built this.
Perry, I didn’t have any aluminum on hand. I was initially thinking the aluminum channel frame material for window screens. But the stick was quick and easy, and mostly importantly, available.
Ken, I still just make flat stabs, so I use the same line level for the prop hub and the stab. Also, with my life, I take my excitement where I can get it.
Ty, maybe I’ll write something up and see if anyone’s interested.
Wynn, I’m kind of a bad person. I buy the level at the dollar store for the bubbles, and then when I get out to the parking lot I pry open the mounts and pull the bubbles for my own use. Then I throw the plastic housing in the trash can in front of the dollar store. When I get home I compare them to a reference level, sanding the plastic to make sure they’re all matching.
Dan McEntee, I only get to one show a year. And I wanted something now, not later. But swap meets are a great sources of jigs and tools.
Dan Berry, accurate building is important to me on days that I fly, accurate English is important to me every day.
