Question on the hinges:
It says they are pre glued, with the arrow pointing to the control surface side of the hinge. Then the code for applying epoxy is also in the box.(pic 1&2) I am thinking it has to be glued to the flying surface, but i cant get them apart. Am I missing something here, are they glued already? I tried all the control surfaces and I cant get them apart using normal force, don't want to pull them out if they are glued...
Here are some pics of the fuse, you can see the glue and that is always a good thing.. The quality of this arf is very good and you cant beat the price..
On your hinges, when I assembled mine approx 3 years ago they had to be glued in place, possible they never re-wrote the instruction
sheet. I also noticed in the pics you posted of the nose gear bearing block that it is bolted in place, where as mine had machine screws
attaching it to the former, and also there is a plywood piece on the floor of the fuselage just below the block that is not there on my
older model. Looks like they made a few improvements since I bought mine, but just the same an awesome looking model at the field,
you will enjoy it with your youngster, good luck and have fun ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
