Yo Rate1...I agree...nothing wrong with the 'NG's (with which I was more closely associated with...but not as much as 777 and 757 (and later -300)...wonder whats coming next after 737s ...Boeing appears non-committal at the moment.

Nothing wrong with Robart Hinges either but I wanted to be able to remove my elevators, ailerons etc for later maintenance if necessary but Robart hinge "pockets" were too big for the elevators (would be ok for ailerons though).

My plan is to use "Solartex" for the covering the fuselage stringered areas......it paints up well with the likes of klasskote, etc ..no primer needed if you start with white.

I'm just screwing together a Flair "Christen Eagle" at the moment since I recently "Rattled" my Graupner E300S on terra firma while I was practising Limbo ...methinks I'll put my YS 140 in the eagle to break it in ready for my Lanier 300S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
