Status: offline 		Any ideas on how to remove the robart hinge points used on giant scale aircraft? I have a 3 year old Giant scale TF Corsair, that I would like to recover in fiberglass, but I need to remove all the control surfaces first, and do some work on them from hanger rash. These hinges are the round ones part number #309.

Thanks for your help.

Cut the control surface off with wire clippers and you should be able to use a piece of sharpened brass tubing in a drill to get the point out. Another option is to cut out the wood around the hinge. You can replace this wood with a fresh piece ready to drill for the new hinges.

Like Mark suggested in snipping at the joint. I've done the brass tube trick and found the quickest way is to simply move the
new hinge location over 1/4 or 3/8" leaving old stud in place.
