Default Aileron Hinges

Check those hinges good. Went to the field today to Break in a new 46FX and Maiden Flight one of my Christmas Presents; Hobbico BrightStar.

One of the Clubs better pilots was there and since I am just getting back into the hobby after a 15 year hiatus I like to have an experienced pilot check out my new planes.

He had her screaming and made a left turn in front of the flight line and we heard Flutter; two of the three hinges on the left aileron pulled out; got her back in one piece with just one aileron; think I will pin all of the hinges. While he was there I also got him to check out my UltraStick 1.20; needless to say it got wrung out too no problems though; takes two to fly it, someone has to tell the pilot which switch to throw; for all of the bells and whistles I have programmed.
