Default final out come

welp after trying to install the robart pins in the elevators. I decided not to do to the fact of the tube getting in the way. What i did instead was, I went to my LHS and purchased some klett hinges and installed them. Had to cut then down a little bit but then drilled more holes so they will have more of a grab. My DP330L now is CA hinge free . I had to change them cause on my elevators they were beginning to rip i already had one fail so I had to redo all the hinges so here is what I ended up with

*6-pin points on each ailerons
*4-pin points on the rudder (kinda tough but worth it to get at
block in there)
*4-klett hinges on each elevators

I am now confident that there will be no more failures with my hinges. I hope....

[QUOTE]Do you think that there is enough room to cut the robarts down some on the DP? QUOTE]

There is only about 1/2" of balsa there before the tube. CA hinges will work fine, But klett hinges will work better......
