Size of Robart Hinge points for a TF .60 GE
I just left the LHS and the owner there was not sure if the size hinges i bought would be adaquate for the flaps for my TF .60 GE Corsair. He had some micro ones, then the size I bought and then some large ones about 3/16" in diameter. I got a pack of 15 for the 6 flaps, 2 on each of the 4 smaller ones and 3 on the 2 longer ones. Anyone see an issue with this? I haven't opened them and can take them back tomorrow if needed and exchange for the larger ones.
First time using these so I want to be sure I have the right hinges.............

If its a 60 size plane I would guess the 3/16 ones will be ieal.

"Robart" website shows the 1/8"(part#'s 307 or 308) would be the correct size for that plane.

They are in fact the Robart 308's ..............sorry for the lack of info, but I am new to the hinge scene. Sounds like I got tje lesser of two evils.............not always a good sign in planes.
Ty for the info..............but sounds like I can go with my current thinking? the Robarts#308 and use 2 for each of the smaller flaps and 3 for the other 2 larger ones............
What scares me is a total of 14 points that have to hinge or swing correctly in unison and also smoothly. The TF manual is a little vague on that.......but I will post my n00b questions again when I get to that point.
