Default RE: CA hinges came loose.


ORIGINAL: millertym2000

yes, I put the hinges in the aileron and the TE dry, then used ultra thin CA. I used 6 to 8 drops on each. Was that to much?

its kinda hard to insert the dry hinge evenly into the ail, and TE especially if there are several hinges....... i glue one side at a time with thin ca, i usually use those nice thin CA applicator tips hobbico makes ...... if a ca hinge fails on me, they usually fail at the the hinge flex point, i havent had one come loose in a looong time
