You can do some searching and come up with a bunch of free flight special interest sites that will show more details. Usually the dt is set up to tip the whole stab, not just an elevator.

Mechanical timers are also available (less hassle/fire danger with smoldering dt fuse), but if you are just going to fly it a couple times, probably not worth the cost. There are also some curious devices that use Silly Putty, don't ask me how.

Unless you have square miles and miles of open flying area, provide some kind of dt, even for test flights. I didn't and lost every free flight I built.

I challenge you to COMPLETE and FLY this plane. You hop to hop from project to project more than anyone that I know. And I know a LOT of people.

As to your signature, do you know the commonly accepted meaning of WTF?

i have the elevator and rudder finished and covered in silk span, fuselage sides still need to be joined to gether and so on
sorry if you guys think my signature is offensive, ill go change it to something else right now

I built one of those Javelins when I was a kid. It flew great and was an easy build. I warped the stab and rudder so it would fly nice banked circles. However, if your going to use glow power, use an .010. An .020 may be too much power.
