Default RE: hinge tape

By dripped I mean just that in other words dripping a couple of drops of thin Ca on each side of the the hinge after the control surface is assembled with the wing or stabilizer. You could call dripping a form of measurement if you will and two to three drops on each side of the assembled hinge is all it takes.

Now many Arfs come with preassembled control surfaces but they are not glued with the CA and that is your responsibility. I do not know about the Senior Frontier but most likely they are assembled surfaces and that is for you to find out. You only need to tug on any of the surfaces and they will pull apart easily if they are not glued.

Some arfs come with the surfaces separated and the CA hinges in a bag and in that case you must assemble the controls and 'drip the hinges'[8D]
