Hello,

I'm building a Mountain Models Lucky Ace Electric plane, and considering using iron-on covering to hinge the ailerons/rudder/elevator instead of using tape. The trailing edges are very thin and the manul recommends to use tape instead of slotting and traditional hinges.

I have used iron-on covering to cover the hinge gaps on other planes, but all those also had traditional slots and CA'd hinges.

Can anyone let me know any negatives or positives of using the iron-on hinging method ? And I assume it would be best to do top and bottom in this case ?

Plane specs:
(Wingspan: 40.0 in Length: 30 in Wing Area: 344 sq in Flying Weight: 15.5 to 17.0 oz Wing Loding: 6.5 to 7.1 oz/sq ft )

Thank you for any advice,
NJF
