Wow I was just doing this job on a Chinese ARF trainer. All the directions say is to use CA on the hinges - thats it!

I had to recut every single hinge slot so I could get the hinges in all at the same time.

Then I put it all together dry and marked the hinge centers with a felt tip pen.

I then put glue on one half of the hinges and sliped them into place.

Next I put glue on the other half of the hinges and tried to put the eleveator etc on. I knew this was going to be hard to do in 20 seconds before the CA set! It sure was hard to get the hinges to slip in all the slots at onece. I had to re apply the glue and clean out the slots again with the knife.

ARE YOU TELLIING ME THAT I CAN ASSMBLE IT DRY AND JUST PUT THE CA ON THE OUTSIDE AND IT WILL SOAK UP INTO THE SLOTS?!!!!? Wow would that be easier!!! It just doesn't seem like the glue would get in there where it needs to. Also I was worried about the hinge getting stiff if I got glue into the part the flexes.

Please let me know if I have this right. I still need to do the Ailerons and they need epoxy and CA at the same time and I couldn't figure out how I was going to do that!
