" I prefer the real things, the control surface works much smoother when they are installed properly."

AAAhhhhhhh...Finally! Good to hear someone else say this!

I think if I finally decided to get rid of ALL the CA hinges lying around from various kits and arfs, I would use the SnowBlower!

I just used the machine for the first time the other day. It does a good job!

The blades MIN posted (#GPMR4016) worked perfectly for Dubro Catalog #117 Nylon Hinges. There is another blade set for even thicker hinges:#GPMR4017 http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXPT33&P=M The tool comes with #GPMR4015, which if for CA hinges.

I didn't know about the blade guide until just now, but you can do a good job without it. And YES...I will be ordering one as soon as they are back in stock.[sm=lol.gif]

Practice, as mentioned above, is well worth the effort.
