I have had a couple questions and had plenty of help from all, and Isay thank you for that,, I have another question that someone can help me with,,, it concerns applying epoxy,, How do you epoxy a robart hing in without getting it all over the pivot point,, I dont know howTo get any epoxy in the hole that the hinge goes in,,If I just brush epoxy on the hinge when I insert it The epoxy is going to push up the hinge as I insert it, and get in the pivot,, I have done this before and it did not go too well, had to tear the hinges out and use CA,, Ihave been told epoxying the hinges in is the best and strongest way to do it,, and the plane I am building is a 50cc model,,So here I am again,, asking for advice,,sure its simple to alot of you, but I have only been in the hobby less than a year, and want to do everything Ican to do it right,,, Thanks fellas
Actually Gorilla glue is the strongest way to install them.

What do type of Gorilla glue do you use as there are several.

I use 30 min epoxy, dap it on the hole and as it takes time to set it seeps down the hole. I also apply epoxy on the hinge stem and push it carefully down thehole, not much epoxy oozes out this way.


Thanks
