I like to thank all of you for your insight. I was under the assumption that if it's glued well, pins aren't needed. Like I wrote, I haven't had the need to use them, and besides that, I check the control surfaces by hand every time I fly.
I guess it's a personal preference thing and not a proven fact that pining is a must for control surfaces.
I'm getting to the point of my building level if I build a kit or a ARF that means a lot to me, I plan ahead incase I need to re-cover and re-hinge. If it's ca hinges I use the debonder, safety razor and X-acto to get them out, and if they are nylon hinges I use heat, safety razor and X-acto.
To me the Great Planes Fokker is worth the effort, I drove 450 miles to pick it up and I've always wanted one for 7 years. And to this day I've been hounding Great Planes to bring it back.
To tell you the truth guy's, I don't think I ever drove 450 miles to pick up a woman!
There's a guy at my field who has a 17 year old Yak kit. He told me he's rebuilt the plane twice and if he hadn't told me I would have not known at all that it was a pile of toothpicks once.
To me I'm starting to see the art of rebuilding and the satisfaction it can give.
I thank everyone for their answer.
