Reinforcement for the elevator(stabilator) hinge.
Some have experienced that the elevator/stabilator hinges comes loose with chatastropic failure as result. There is a bulletin from MotionRC to check the mounts during build and this modification might be a little bit of overkill but better to be safe then sorry.
Print and glue with the stock motionRC glue(white tube) or something similar that doesn't dissolve the F-18 EPS plastic. Make sure not to get glue on the elevator/stabilator steel shaft or the bearings attacthed to it.
Print settings:
Almost any filament can be used but it should be able to glue to the EPS plastic.
Suggest PLA: strong, low flex and easy to glue.
