Default RE: Extreme Flight 88" Yak - Build and Fly

3d-aholic,

You got me thinking... and I always enjoy running a test or two (especially when they are this easy)

I grabbed some scrap balsa block and drilled a 3/16 hole and another one that I "wallowed out" a bit to simulate a couple potential hingeholes.

I then moistened the holes as usual... then dripped a couple drops of GGLue in the holes and pokes, swirled the stick in applying the glue well to the hole walls...

THIS time I did NOT apply ANY glue to the hinge... just poked them in.

Based on the results... (I'm still waiting on a decent cure time to test strength... I won't apply glue to the hinges again... the foaming properties of the glue does it's job... and addig it to teh hinge seems to only add a step and makes for more foaming...

You may have just helped save me some hassle and time... making hinging almost a breeze...

It still needed a little wiping at the "hingeline" as it still foamed a little... but not as much... and only ONCE...
