No problem Wayne. Just let me know if you have anymore questions, these are quite fun to put on. When putting the hinges on the flap wells, i put just enough epoxy on the back side of the hinge to where it does not quite squeeze out the side when pushed into place. When i get everything aligned right , I will tack the hinge in place with CA so it stays. I then scuffed up the outside of the hinge and surrounding are and applied more epoxy to it. I used 5 minute epoxy on these ,so you have about 5 minutes to make any adjustments, but at least you dont have to hold it long. This is the way i did them but you can choose which way works best for you. Make sure you have the hinge glued on the actual flap first before doing the wells. Also make sure the hinges do not rub on one another (besides the hingpoint). You want the hinge to sit on the wood and be inset past the wing skin. If you have to, you can trim a little bit of the ply area out where the hinge sits against the ply ,or like on one that i did, i had to take the drum sander and shave off a little bit of the hinge so it would not rub. I hope this helps and didnt make it sound more confusing.

Here are a few pics of one that Ty from Florida is doing. He is using hoye fans with scorpion motors. The tamjets aluminum wheels go good with the A10. Thanks for the pics Ty.
