I've visited Robart's website and noted the size of the 3/32, 1/8, and 3/16 inch hingepoints. Robart provided no recommendations regarding their appropriate use verses model size, hence my question.

I will try them on a 1/5 scale cub (68" span), so I guess I would select the 1/8 size. Does that seem correct?

When does one use the smaller 3/32 and the larger 3/16 sizes?

Would you use different sizes on the same plane?


Thanks

1/8 should be right for that plane. The 3/16 are used on anything from 1/4 scale - up, and the 3/32 could be used on say a .20 size or smaller airplane.

I agree with Mike on his recommendation.

I'm using the 3/16" hinges on my 28% Extra 300s, 14 lbs, as well as on larger aircraft I have built for people. These were the only hinges we used on 30% Extra 260's which weighed in at 22-25 lbs. The scale guys use them on some of the really large birds, but they use a lot of them.

The smaller hinges work great on models with surface thicknesses less than 1/4".

Thanks for the Info. A lot of RC products don't come with instructions, but someone usually knows the answers here!!!
