Hi,

I am hinging my F-86 ducted fan Sabre. I am using Robart hinges. To get the hinge line as small as possible, I have planned to notch out the control surfaces. I have seen somewhere a method of using a hardwood block square, cutting the notch in the hardwood, cutting out the same block size in the control surface, and glueing the block in then drilling the hole in the notched block of hardwood.

First - do I have the process correct?

Secondly, what type of hardwood is good to use (one I assume that is easy to shape to the shape of the control surface)?

Also, is a wood glue prefable to use to glue the hardwood in as opposed to Hysol 9462 (BVM Aeropoxy)?

Anything else I need to know?

Thanks in advance.

Tim
