Default RE: Top Flite B-25 ARF (Tecnical, tips, suggestions)

I never mentionned CA hinges. Gorrila glue expand and may cause the hinge to freeze. Also for the application of the solder clevis, it does not beat the Z bend in a wire.

For hinging the B-25, I cleaned the holes with a matching drill size and applied 3 hr epoxy with a leftover rod and applied glue to the hinge arm then glued it together. It gave me plenty of time to adjust the middle of the hinges and line them up perfectly on the wing. This is the way i've done it. There may be numerous other ways, as long as it is well lined up and that the surfaces move freely it is good.

I am also looking forward to your review.
