If so, I doubt you're interested, but-I have a 90% c omplete (needs counterweights and fiberglass) set of elevators-for an HRI I (0.016 skins). - Miles --- On Thu, 10/18/12, Ernest Hale wrote: From: Ernest Hale Subject: Rocket-List: Need a right elevator t@matronics.com> I had an unfortunate incident today where while I was running the engine up on my Rocket with the canopy back the canopy took a departure from the plane and hit my right elevator.- Does anyone have one that they would like to sell?- Right elevator that is.
