Help to source flap hinges
 

Hi, my first post on this site, hope someone can help me please.

I am looking to source some plastic hinges (preferrably in the UK) I have seen used on an RC plane (possibly a YT international Hurricane flap hinge) which I can use for the opening doors on a scale RC helicopter. This may sound like an odd request, but the attached image shows the type of hinges I am looking for. It's taken from the Vario web site who make scale helis and accessories but are very expensive (their door fitting set is £22 for 4 doors!) I wondered if there was something similar used by aeroplane builders.

Thanks

Thanks bako. They look close enough. I will give them a try.

Anyone tried their Lipos or done business with them?

Any other hinge sources still welcome.

I have used their lipos (4S 4100 mah ) with no problems. I do not beat on them though. Yesterday (11/1/07 ) they got in a fresh supply. 4S 4100 mah is about $75 - $76.

Thanks guys.

I've had a good look at the united hobbies web site and it's very good. I've ordered some hinges and other small items to see how it goes. I will most likely return to order some Lipos soon.

Now to find those SIG hinges.

Great forum :D

the only problem with united hobbies is delay between your order and shipment, thay have over 1600 orders per week and thats why they'r experiensing problems.
