[NSRCA-discussion] Brio Hinges

[Keith Black]

I did basically the same as Rick, but with Radio South large CA hinges.

When doing mine I heard the suggestion of slightly sanding the hinge line to provide a bit of a flat area to insert the CA hinge. I did this on the ailerons but not the elevator as I'd already completed them before I heard the tip. This did make things slightly easier, both look fine covered with Monokote.

  I used regular CA hinges on my Brios - no problems. Angled the cuts in both flying surface and control surface so that the hinge deeper into the wood rather than staying in the sheeting. This results in the hinges being bent at a slight angle when the surface is at neutral - has absolutely not been an issue - about 220- 250 flights so far.

  Hope this helps -
