Default RE: Spirit 3D complete

Thanks Tianci. I used Dubro nylon pinned hinges with hinge glue. I read some reports of the CA hinges failing on it, and I used nylon hinges for my Avistar, so it was a no brainer.

I am going to reinforce a few areas over the next couple of days. It's a gorgeous plane, just seems so fragile.

In building I also noticed one of the ribs was cracked at the leading edge of the left wing. It doesn't seem so bad. I could probably cut a small slot in the covering and throw some CA or wood glue onto it and put some clear tape over it. Doesn't seem like it'll affect anything, but it's an imperfection.
