RE: New HOW TO Posted: How to Install Robart Hinge Points
Robart Hinge Points:
I have developed a method of installing them that takes only a few minutes and does allow a limited window for oops!
I use medium or thick CA. I put a drop or 2 (depending on size of hinge point) in to the hole, which by the way I do countersink and dry fit for best (least) gap and movement, I then follow that up with a drop of DeBonder in each hole, then insert the hinge points on one surface and fold them over to ensure alignment. Then follow up with the CA and Debonder on the control surface.
The Debonder gives you a window of 15 to 30 seconds depending on ca and brand that you can pull the surfaces apart if needed (like one of the points missed the hole).
After both sides are together it takes several minutes for the ca to fully cure due to the debonder, and when cured they hold very well.
