Default RE: ultrastick hardware junk replacement

Hello.

I am in the process now of re-hinging my Ultrastick 60.

I opted for the Dubro nylon hinges (1/4 scale) w/ the supplied cotter pins.

But I didn't glue them properly, and they slid out. I just don't get how the CA is supposed to wick thru the 6 small holes in the hinges. I plan on epoxying them this time (instead of CA) and reinforcing with vertical toothpicks through the hinges. Any advice???

Also (Ed), I am considering placing a gasket or thin piece of rubber between the motor mounts and firewall to mitigate the vibration. Should I even bother? (I am using the included mounts since they are relatively light).

I will mount the rudder servo in front of the fin, but wonder if it is really worth buying the pull-pull device. Please advise.

Thanks in advance.
