Merry Xmas ,
I just recived my CMP Cessna, and i am ready to start building it. Ihave only built 2 planes so far, the Hangar solo star trainer and the Hangar 9 cherokee. With both planes I used epoxy to glue the hinges as per the instruction of the manual. With the Cessna, the hinges are of a diffrent type, anyone who already bult this plane, please explain the procedure on gluing the hinges on this plane. I dont want to mess things up. Thank you so much
cheers

They should be hinge points. I have read that the ones that come in the ARF are brittle and break very easy. the ones that came in my ARF are bendy. I was going to replace them with Robart hinge points.
You can use epoxy, gorilla glue, thick CA. I used epoxy. Put a drop of oil on the hinge to lube it up so the epoxy does not stick to the hinge and bnid it.
