Firestar II Hinge Size?

Postby jzawodn » Sun Jun 23, 2019 11:10 pm

Our EAA chapter (#1337) inherited a Firestar II build and are working to complete it. (Possibly with an electric propulsion system, because why not?)

We have a set of plans and the builder's manual ("recent" ones from the factory) but they specify different sizes for the aileron hinges. One says 6" and the other says 8" so we're a bit puzzled. We have enough material to do 8" but does anyone know the right answer and/or if there was a change at some point along the years?

Thanks!
