Default Tower Trainer 40 Aileron Hinges

Hello Everyone,

I have a Tower Trainer 40 MkII. I have tried twice installing the ailerons. The manual says put six drops CA on each side of hinges. What a mess.

I cut hinges and put new ones to one side with three drops each side. A lot better, but still too stiff.

That means I have two sets of slots. The two at the tip are 3/8" from the tip and 3/8" apart. The inboard "sets" are 6" apart and the two in the sets are 5/8" apart.

I would like to change to Robart 1/8" Hinge Point hinges and try again. My question is: Will the trailing edge have enough structural integrity left with an 1/8" hole between the tip two hinges and inboard two hinges ? Or does anyone have any Better suggestions as to what to do ?

Any advice, Please, is Greatly Appreciated.

Thank You,

waynerr
