Hello all,
Rookie pilot here with a question about hinges in RTF Planes.
I have read some of the posts about hinges pulling out of planes from not being glued right, and was wondering if it would be a good, or bad idea to drill small holes in the wings and flaps, through the hinge points, and insert some small pins? Would this add insurance, or undue stress to the light wood?
I had this happen to me recently, and while waiting on a replacement, and reliving the experience of watching my new plane turn into a lawn dart, I cant help but want to think of ways to add peace of mind from this happening again.
Just wondering, and thanks in advance for any in-put.
