Hi,
My Great Planes Reflection Biplane decide to land all by itself yesterday! Now I need about 6 of those little plastic aileron hinges with a small "c" on the end. This aircraft is out of production now and Great Planes doesn't have replacement parts. Can anybody help me with finding replacement hinges?
Also, this is a 3D foamy biplane weighing about 14 oz. with a Hacker A20-20L on it. If I can't repair it, what biplane would you suggest as a replacement?
All help will be appreciated.

Here's what I use to hinge foamies:

It's hinge tape, aka 3M Blenderm surgical tape. Works great for foamies.

You need to make a 45ΒΊ bevel in the controll surface before you hinge it.
Also, here's your hardware set: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXLSS7&P=ML
Has everything for the flatouts.
