RE: Great Planes Cap 232 Build Thread!!
Do yourself a favor man to save time in clean up:
1. Of course get all your hinges setup correctly and the holes the proper size to fit the hinge knuckles:
remember the hinge knuckles should be on the hinge line
2. Tape off your hinge holes on both the mating and actual surface
3. Use whichever glue you want; if you use gorilla glue which is really best - then when it expands it will do so onto the tape leaving you a clean surface on either the mating or control surface.
Simple, cheap, and easy way to save clean up. Works the same for other types of glue but expanding glues are best for hinging. You might put a few drops of 3 in oil in the hinge knuckle and its best to hinge to the mating surface (i.e. wing, stab, or rudder) first for best results.
If I would have done this when I first started building big planes it would have saved me soo much time. Then I finaly read the instruction manuals of an ARF (WH extra) and it became clear.
Looks nice and you will save weight with no wing tube!
