Loose CA hinge help
Hi everyone,
Just started my flight training with my LT 40 kit. Sure is nice to something you built actually fly. Anyway, I was doing a pre-flight check before my 4th flight, and found I had my upper rudder CA hinge had come loose. What tips do you have to replace/repair that hinge. Since the lower hinge is still secured on, how do I go about fixing the upper hinge? Do I disconnct the control rod from the horn and swivel the rudder to its farthest travel and re-slot new hinge slots. I don't think it will swivel out far enough to re-slot straight and true. Some of the guys on the field said to use epoxy on the old hinge. Kind of doubtful on that suggestion, but I know many of you have run into this problem. So whats your take?
Thanks
CC
