<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">the first time i covered my RV-4, i used that method with the tooth picks. then i got a cut off disk on the ole dremel and shaved them down real nice and that was probably the best hinging job i had ever done. now i'm using robart hinge points, but thinking about going back to the pinned hinges for my Kadet MKII. no need to get all fancy pants with the robarts on that plane. i never had a problem with them coming apart, either. plus you don't have to mess with glue. big plus there for me. </span>
