Default RE: F-100 "Build" thread

The wings are pre-moulded, of course, with the ailerons as part of the wing. You have to cut those off, install the hinges and leading edges, and install the hinges in the wing for both the ailerons and flaps. The ailerons and flaps are hinged with carbon fiber hinges held together with a wire hinge pivot - pull the pin and the surface comes off. That makes for a really nice scale hinge and allows you to to take the surfaces off for finishing. Here, the aileron and flap hinges are being gluded into the wing with braces holding the flaps and ailerons in the proper location.
