Broken CA Hinge - Rehinge aileron?
Hey all, it been awhile since I've been here, things were going so well with my Pulse XT earlier this year that I only needed to lurk here. Anyways, the last quarter of the year hasn't been very kind to me. The day after I repaired my landing gear block after it tore out (nylon bolts didn't break first), I did a touch-n-(no)go. Apparently, I had too much speed that my tail-wheel wasn't completely on the ground but not enough speed for rudder authority. My plane veered right into a post for our fields catch fence (between the pilot stations and runway).
The wing hit the post and crunched back to the wing spar, and I did some fuselage damage including tearing out the wing mounting block. I think I have this damage under control. However, I just noticed that 1 out of 4 of my CA hinges is also torn. The torn hinge is closest to the fuselage. The aileron itself seems to move OK with normal throw. Do I need to cut all my old hinges and rehinge the entire aileron? It's a pain to do, and I would like to avoid if at all possible.
Thanks.
