Check those hinges good. Went to the field today to Break in a new 46FX and Maiden Flight one of my Christmas Presents; Hobbico BrightStar.

One of the Clubs better pilots was there and since I am just getting back into the hobby after a 15 year hiatus I like to have an experienced pilot check out my new planes.

He had her screaming and made a left turn in front of the flight line and we heard Flutter; two of the three hinges on the left aileron pulled out; got her back in one piece with just one aileron; think I will pin all of the hinges. While he was there I also got him to check out my UltraStick 1.20; needless to say it got wrung out too no problems though; takes two to fly it, someone has to tell the pilot which switch to throw; for all of the bells and whistles I have programmed.

I really like the large 1/4 scale flat hinges over the round hinge points. The flat hinge has more glue area to adhere to the wood, not to mention, that it can also be pinned from the bottom.

I have seen many hinge points pull out, but never a pinned flat hinge.
