Yeah, those tips are great. You can get right down to the hinge and apply the CA where you want it to be and not all over the covering, or on the floor like I do all the time..[>:] You don't realize it's there until it sets up in a lump and you see it there on the floor.

Once you work all this out, you will develop your "own style" and do what you feel is best. We've tried to point out the few issues that may come up during this process, and the pitfalls we've probably all have run into with our hinges. I did double coat the hinge with CA and it caused probems about a month or so later when the surface started to get loose on me. I ended up cutting both ailerons away from the wing and re-installing the CA hinges. This, of course, was after I got the advice from a friend.

You have the benefit of hearing it from us, those that have made the mistakes, so you don't have to make the same ones we did. That's not to say you won't make mistakes, but those that you do make will be all yours!!

Enjoy the hobby, and don't make a major project of installing hinges. Once you've done them, and done them right, you will see that all this was worth while and not really rocket science.
