Default RE: Hinge update

Replaced the rudder CA hinges in the Pitts rudder tonight with 6 Klett Flexpoint hinges. My good friend Chuck helped me with the installation since I had not used these before and he has used them for years. Really like how easily they installed. Used large hinges in case anyone is interested. Had to snip small portion off the end of each hinge to avoid going through the wood. Used think ZAP CA to hold. Very easy installation and solid as a rock. With six in place I shouldn't have this problem again. Going to replace the elevator hinges next. Still thinking about the aileron hinges. Probably will replace those as well while I am at it.
