Status: offline 		The advice for preassembly is a good one. That Seamus has been around the block I don't make any rash decisions when I crash a plane. I pick up all the pieces and sock it away for a while. I find myself thinking about what may have caused the crash for some time afterward. Eventually, I look at the crashed plane and decide what to do with it. By then I've calmed down and can apply some rational thoughts about my next step. Sometimes rational...but not always!

So when doing the pre-covering check, if I were to find a messed up hinge slot, how would it be fixed? Fill it and re cut it?



I've opened up the "messed up" hinge slot so that a piece of 3/16, 1/8 stock can be slid in wet with wood glue with grains aligned. Using a drill bit at the ends (3/16) and cut straight lines on the hole's outside edges. Cut a piece of stock and sand over the ends to match the holes and the depth of the trailing edge. You can either recut the hinge hole at the same location - might be problematic  - or move the hinge slot to a new virgin location. I would not use a mircro balloons putty or any other type of filler.

I've rehinged CA, Dubro pinned hinges and Robart hinge pins using the technique.

Cheers,
Andy
