My first question is what type of hinges did you use and what kind of glue are we talking here?????.
As far as flying wires go, I did not use them on this particular model, but I may should have with the big 4 stroker in the nose, they do shake some at idle and could create a problem, Flying wires help stop and flutter you may get from high speeds, larger 4 stroke engines and abrupt manuevers which put extra strain on the horizonal stab. I have lost a couple of planes in the day due to not having the wires in place.
as far as I know the plane doesn't need them for all practical purposes with a Smaller end engine 90-91 2 stroke.
allot of the time if I need some tail weight I will add the flying wires to help with the balance instead of just glueing in some lead inside the fuse, Looks allot better plus has a function to boot.
(Off subject) Now if you ever build a GB Sukhoi I strongly recommend the flying wires on that plane.
Course maybe the 160 FX I have in it may have something to do with why *LOL*
Thanks Cyber
Yes, i'm only using a 90 2 stroke and i'm not really planning on performing any sudden acrobatics, Ilearnt that lesson with my Funtana which amazing snapped its right wing in a sudden pull up.
As for the hinges, well good question, i'm not sure what you guys may call them, but they are known here are furry hinges. They are just thin slices of what seem furry plastic.....Iknow Isound crazy but its the only way Ican describe them
The glue that Iused almost looks like wood glue, cant remember off the top of my head who makes it but I do know that its an American make.
