Default RE: Finish the Phoenix-Paint

Had a little time in the shop this morning. Strip aileron's the norm here. DuBro flat hinge's, then pinned. Round toothpick's, drill thru from top of aileron. Put a piece of flat wood on the bottom so the drill does not tear the balsa up. I have also inserted another scrap piece of aileron below the primary piece, thereby making it almost level for the bit. Best to drill this while the adhesive for the hinges is not dry. Then insert the toothpick, saw off level with fine blade xacto. The glue used when sinking the hinges, will dry into the toothpicks. Sand smooth, use filler if needed. Any indent's, use filler. These are glassed, so some dope or primer will be used, MK or finish paint. Not sure which way yet. I had started to use the barrel hinging, there are left over holes at the line to fill. I will pin the wing TE also, same way.
Try to paint tomorrow fuselage tomorrow, except I have a house full of company.
