Cruzomatic, either will work, but personally, I'd go with the exacto. better fit, just be sure to make the slots as flat as possible.


V-while your at the Hobby shop getting hinges, take the elevator with you, and for another 2 bucks, you can get a piece if balsa to replace the elevator. I built a Pt 40 for my Dad, and the elevator was slightly warped, not as bad as you are saying though. After 5-6 flights the hinges started to give out, and I ended up replacing the whole works.

Also, when you install the new hinges, put them all in, push the pieces together, move the elevator up or down about 45 degrees, hold there, and apply your thin CA. this will help keep everything square.
