Default The RDC Eaglerock

I was going through my stuff a while ago and noticed that I happened to have these plans. I've not seen them posted anywhere so I figured that I would post them here.

I have no idea where I got these from. It's been a minimum of 15 years that I've had them....

Thanks for posting this build article. In case anyone is building this, like me, the tube is 8 inches long of Semroc/Centuri ST-7. I am going to use modern CA hinges

CA hinges are too stiff for this. I switched to 3M Blenderm. I could make this a period piece but I don’t like bending wire. I will use an elastic cord to actuate the elevators.

I've started building one of these for the Fox Valley Rocketeers launch on Sunday. I'll try to take some pictures and post a flight report after the launch.

When I hinge RC airplane control surfaces with Blenderm I just use the adhesive already on the tape.
