RCKen - First off I want to Thank-You for all the time and information you have invested in this build thread. You have contributed a very considerable amount of your valuable wisdom and knowledge in building this Airplane. So much so that you've given me the confidence to build one myself! Well. almost by myself.
I bought three planes at an auction. Two of them are ABF's ( Already Been Flown ) and one is a Semi completed LT-40 Kit. The Kit looks like someone started with good intentions, tried to follow the instructions, got confused and gave up. I checked the parts inventory and all the pieces are there, so I just need to fix a few problem areas and should be airborne by next spring!
The most obvious problem is the former builder hacked the slots for the hinges. I don't know how thin of a slot the power hinge slottter tool makes, but what this guy did was carve out a cavern in the TE and ailerons. I would appreciate your advice on how to fix these oversized holes, as I don't think Thick CA would be appropriate to fill the gap and get a good hinge joint. I've included some pictures for you viewing pleasure. Again, Thank you for making his build thread
