RE: New TufFlight Bouncer - Build Thread
I started off hinging the ailerons. I made a hinge slicer out of a balsa stick and a single edge razor blade. Using weights, I held the aileron and wing down on a flat surface and just ran the slicer through both to cut the hinge slot (Wow - I wish hinging could always be this easy). The hinge material is made of Mylar and runs the whole length of the surface. I cut two pieces of mylar 3/4" wide. I slid the mylar hinge into the aileron slot first. While holding the aileron flat I wicked CA into one side and then kicked it. Flipped it over and repeated for the other side of the aileron. I then inserted the aileron into the wing, held it flat and CA'd/kicked. Repeated for the other wing panel. Very easy process and I like the continuous hinge.
