Default RE: Yellow Aircraft F-22 ARF Assembly Thread

As far as the main door hinge assembly ..... in the kit version it says to glue the assembly to the fuse (inside of the wing root). Because I was affraid that the doors (or their hinge assembly) may sometime get damaged or break, I decided to make the assembly removable incase I ever had to repair it. Four button head screws (for each assembly) will hold it securely in place. The heads of these screws are positioned where the lightening holes for the wing root are ...... so there is no problem with mating the wing to the fuse.

Also, I applied glass cloth and epoxy to the ply arms of this assembly for some added strength.
