FT Simple Soarer Elevator Brace

After beveling the hinge for the FT Simple Soarer like Josh shows in the build video, you are left with what I think is too weak of an elevator. My first FT SS I used a 1.5" long bamboo skewer glued in to try to strengthen the elevator to ensure both sides moved in tandem when the servo horn actuated the elevator.

This simple, light weight design slips over and gets glued on before assembling the tail feathers.

It is quite possible that Josh uses the same dimensions on some of the other FT designed elevators so this could possibly work with more FT designs. If anyone confirms, please comment and I'll update the description.

**Notes:** I had to use a 3mm brim and also supports to get this to print sucessfully. It is a super quick print and very easy to get both the brim and the minimal supports off. Post-Printing =============

Brim and supports required

The clearance holes needs to be made just a bit larger to allow free movement. Dry fit and test before glueing.
