RE: RECOVERING A PLANE AFTER CRASH
I just rebuilt a Nexstar that another club member had trashed. Rather than re-hinge, I used a heat gun and tweezers to remove the covering along the hinge line. When I re-covered, I started with a strip on the hinge line and simply treated it like a monokote hinge, leaving the existing CA hinges in place. No fuss, no muss.
