RE: How to??? Control surface removal
What I did was to cut away the wood (long rectangular pieces) that held the hinges on the moving surface. I then epoxied new rectangular pieces back into the moving surface, re-covered and drilled hole for the hinges that remained attached to the non-moving surface such as the horizontal stab. This was done on a quarter scale model and the glue and hinges have shown no signs of fatigue thus far.
