Default CA Hing Problem

AGGGGH!!!!! i have a problem, and it is the first time it has happened to me, but I know it has happened to someone.

I was ca'ing my aliron on to the wing and it moved and I have a big gap. so I cut the hings immediately and tried to debond the hinges. Well, what can I say but DUH!!!!!! IS there an relatively easy way the remove the old hinges. This is on a new ARF and my first pattern type plane. and So far everything has been perfert, even the other alieron went on
perfect. I CANT believe this happened.


Well if you are going to put planes together and fly em, your gonna have good days and bad days!!!!!!!......Today has been a bad day!!!!!

My idea's are using a dremell cutting disk and carefully cut down the slot, hopefully removing the hinge material and not
the balsa

I have heard you just seal them off and make new slots 1 1/2 inch away.....sigh...

I have a dubron hinge slotting set, so I an make new hinge points........

ALL SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME !
