The thread I started about the ultra stick 120 I said was going to use the t-pins pushed into the balsa and then cut them off to make sure the hinges stay, last year I lost my ultra stick 60 cause I screwed up getting enough ca soaked into the hinge and coming in for landing at the far end the rudder came off and plane smacked power pole and the stick fell into hundreds of pieces, so I got my stick 120 and I am starting today on it.
