Model Airplane News Editor Gerry Yarrish shows how to install RC airplane control surface hinges.
I wish he would have talked about the hinges used , size .
thank you lot's
Good video, don't U pin the hinges?
I cut ball pins, throw away the ball end half, and hammer the pin into the hinges and wood surface. No glue required.
I heard very good opinions about the Woodglut plans.
I'm surprised that nobody corrected you, when you said that the pin in the hinge is a Carter pin, instead of a COTTER PIN.
Very good
I can't stand how to videos that skip over steps on how to do it! this thing your trying to do..just do it , see we already did. Moving on
Please get rid of the EXTREMELY LOUD introductory music. My eardrums are ringing.
Thanks, ….i'm 68 and learning to build control lines again as i did when i was 16. …now i have money to get good shit to build with . đēđ¸
I ussually use hot glue for hinge đ
Unreal. The most basic problem is how to find that centerline and you didn't show it. Dumb.
Don't use a pen if you are going to cover the surface with transparent film. Use a light pencil mark instead.
VERY WELL ILLUSTRATED!!
I'm not really enjoying Guillows PT 17 build. What other brand would you recommend? I'd like to build a P51 or a Spitfire.
Good morning,
do you have any videos showing us how to fit motors, servos and all relevant electrics onto a balsa Plane kit please ????
He is camera happy
Terribly sorry, but you do remind me of Al Borland…
Hi all. Since I shot this video, Zap has discontinued Hinge Glue adhesive. But fear not. An excellent replacement glue for gluing in plastic hinges is Zap's Formula 560, Canopy Glue. Actually it is the same stuff, except 560 dries clear. Still sticks to the hinges well and also swells the wood for a tight installation.
R u the minecraft crew belboz?
Good how too. Thanks for posting.
I remember using that same method for hinging control surfaces and always dreaded it until I got a G.P. Slot Machine which made hinging a breeze! Hinge points are easy to install as well. Also, as far as hinge glue goes, I think Pacer discontinued the hinge glue but I found that is just an aliphatic based adhesive and a great and low priced substitute is Gorilla or Titebond wood glue for plastic hinges and hinge points.
the last but one sentence of the video made me feel so much better. cause I have already covered the control surfaces and now going to hinge. when i started watching this vid, I was like holy sh*t, I shouldn't have covered!
If you used something heavier your plane would be a flying brick…point is you want it as light as possible. Just don't crash, but if you do, balsa is easy to repair with CA glue.
That wood seems awfully soft for an rc plane, i would hate to crash it with that timber as a frame. Just sayn
Thanks great vid and very helpful .
great video thanks
Cutting a recess for the barrel of the hinges after the airplane has been covered seems like a rather crude technique, but then again, considering that up close, most RC planes look like a pile of splinters covered with shrink-wrap anyway, I guess it's par for the course.
do you need to glue in the hinges? my reactor seemed pretty tight but i dropped a wing on the aeileron and it knocked it loose a little.
next time could you make a video on how to cut and hinge the alerons they seem harder to cut accurately (thick)
I'm building a Nieuport 11, the article (it was a free plan with a magazine) says they used 'furry hinges' does anyone know what these are, or would strong paper or laminated plastic bag round a bit of wire do the same job?
can anyone tell me please how to put on the film on a plane wing, as i have a cut it the orignal cover and have 2 rolls of film but dont know what to do, Do you have to iron it on??
No, definitely don't use paper. It bends and wears down easily and will tear over time. You can buy little plastic hinges at any model store, but they should be provided with your model.
I'm just joining together my GWS E-starter air plane modell. The next step is to cut the elevator, rudder and aileron from the wings. After that I've to join these things with 'hinge', but I don't know how it looks like. I think it should be a 20mm X 10mm slight thing but there isn't anything looking like that. What do you think, is it good expedient if I cut a 20mm X 10mm paper and glue it and I use the paper as hinge. Won't the elevator, rudder and aileron break away during flying?
