A productive weekend. Covered the wing and added the ailerons too!

I used Robart large hinge points. First time with this product. They are easy to get aligned and drilled correctly using the Robart drill jig. They are more work then CA hinges but have a better feel and action. The holes for the joint in the aileron are slightly distracting. They would have been smaller had I chosen a wedge type leading edge for the aileron rather than a rounded form. I did not think I would use them again. However when the product was finished I like the feel and action better than CA or pin type hinges. I think the hinge points are more difficult to install (not much) than either of these methods. One plus is the ease of alignment, I think it best over CA or Pin. I will use the hinge points again, especially where enough stock exists to hold the hinge point. I had to add some scrap to the inside of the trailing edge to have enough meat.

First time with Ultracote and I prefer it over Monokote. I see alot of debate over monokote quality dropping over time. I beleive it so. I covered a hog bipe nearly three years ago and it is still tight, I believe I only reshrank it once. However a Contender covered just a year ago needs constant reshrink. Looking this evening it is due again. Arrgh!!
