I was getting the Ghost ready for its maiden flight and heard a rattling. Then looked down and one of the inner gear door hinges came off. Could of been a really problem!!! Not sure if all kits are like this, but I mentioned it before and finally solved it. CARF only used about a 1.5" pin for each side of the door. When the plane moved around, one of the pins actually slid all the way into the door itself. I just drilled a hole on the outside of the wing and slid a full length 4mm brass tube in. Now the door has a full length pin instead of just two small pins on either side that can, and will, slide around .If you have a kit with just the pins, I strongly suggest making this mod!!!! Now I just place a piece of scotch tape over the hole and all good. Also, real easy to remove pin if need be.



short pins can slide into the door hinge and cause the door to come off


Drill small hole and then add full length 4mm hinge tube
