I have found that Great Planes makes the same style hinge in the small size with a metal pin. I will be using them on my flaps when I get back to my build.

I got the ones recommended in the manual. smaller than the Robarts to be used everywhere else.
I will see how many I have and send you some up if you like Keith.

Hey Keith, you still around, haven't fallen off the planet yet? I been waiting with baited breath to check on your progress with no luck. Are you still building?
Let us know where you are in the build process.

RE: Keith's Top Flite Spitfire build
Keith,
When you get to the final construction part of the manual, paragraph 5 tells you to use a #10 drill to drill the holes through the wing bolt blocks and into the fuse wing blocks........DO NOT USE THE #10 DRILL BIT! It's too big! The bit that comes with the great planes 1/4-20 tap kit is a #7. I ended up having to fill the wing block holes with epoxy and re-drilling with the #7 bit. A question to the experts ..........is this a satisfactory repair or should I replace the wing blocks? Feel free to email me with any questions you may have. I'm working on the wing fairings at the moment.
