RE: LIMEYS CUSTOM RC BUILDING SERVICE.
OK Today i finished sanding the leading edges on the control surfaces and hinged them they are now ready for glass along with the stab and vertical fin.
This is a very good tip i have used for many years with great success when you hinge with Robart hinges it is better to use the smaller hinges first for fitting you can still line upthe surfaces. This will stop you from having a bigger hole when its time to permanently glue them together, after trial fitting with the smaller ones and you are glassed and ready re drill with an 1/8 bit and insert the larger ones. The hinges are designed to only slide in once not in and out a few times i have seen many a plane lost from this, also scuff them prior to gluing to help the epoxy stick better.
Also today i sheeted the fuselage and started adding the 1/8 th plywood sheer weebs in the landing bay area followed by spruce try stock for reinforcement.
