Thanks alot everyone for all the great help!

After reading the article, my next question was going to be what exactly "pinning" a hinge was? Well I found out that answer when I kept reading in the thread! It's what you do to secure a hinge in the surfaces.

MinnFlyer,
Thanks alot for your diagrams in your post and your article for ca hinges. It's very good and informative. Looks like I'm definately going to have to pin the hinges. I might even use toothpicks. Those look like my might hold better than using T-pins through the balsa.

mikenlapaz,
Thanks for finding the article. That had some good points in it that I know I'll be able to use, also.

Only one more question that I have. When pinning the hinges, do I insert the dry hinge and pin it to one side. Then, after getting my clearance, insert the hinge to the other side and pin that one BEFORE I insert the thin ca?

Hopefully everyone can understand this question. This is the best I can explain myself! lol
