Default RE: 50cc Edge V2 has landed

It takes me 1 hour and 15 minutes to hinge a plane.

20 minutes to tape and prep one side of all surfaces.
15 minutes to glue in the hinges
<wait for glue to dry doesn't count, do this part before noon>
15 minutes to glue the other side
<wait again, do this after dinner and allow to dry overnight>
25 minutes to pull out all the masking tape and clean up

I clocked myself on the most recent job which was a large plane. One must be organized, but it isn't a big job. You need sharp exacto blades, blue masking tape, gorilla glue or urethane glue, toothpicks, small paper cups. You also need something to hold the pieces securely while the glue dries.
