gjeffers, I thought the same on the hobby knife cut, I do like the idea
of the soldering iron, But have never used it... On my Avistar and 4*
I got a bit of the bulsa, But I put some thin CA in the area, before
epoxing, Don't know if that helped,,, But there still on:-)

Hey, since you have used pinned hinges, Do you install push pins(2)
on each side of the hinge for added insurance?? Members at my field
say it's good to do that.... I'm still not sure what I'll use for my
Yak repair.. Robarts or pinned hinges... So I'm just trying to gather
more info:-)

Well hope that funky Brown truck shows up early and all are safe!!
Have fun with your build!!
