avistar damage
Recently one of my ailerons fluttered an caused one of the CA hinges to break. After this i found that i hadn't put in all the hinges so three total were missing form the wing. What can i do to put these hinges in?
P.S. IF so of you alrady answered my previous post like this sorry i have to ask it again...computor problems. |
RE: avistar damage
one of two see if you can bend the hinge to get it almost all the way in one surface then take a safty pin and try to pull it into the other side 1/2 way or remove the surface and cut the slots again and re-hinge the entire surface......

RE: avistar damage
Yea, cut the remaining hinges to separate the aileron from the wing. Then re cut new hinge slots next to the old ones. Put in as many hinges as were originally there (four?). You can cut hinge slots with a #11 blade, but the easiest way is with a Great Planes Slot Machine electric hinge slotter. Kinda a shame to buy one for just one job. Maybe you can borrow one from someone in your club. Or, just use the hobby blade. You'll have to buy some new CA hinges. Lots of companies make them.
