<P>Also remember to glue the hinge into both the movable and non-movable
surface at the same time. Dry assemble the parts, make sure the hinges are
centered, bend the surface to full deflection, then wick thin CA into the
center of the hinge. Do all the hinges on one side, then bend the surface the
other way and repeat. Don't go back and add glue to "make it stronger",
the CA will not wick into the joint and can form a sharp ridge in the center
which will cut the hinge over time. Have some paper towels and
debonder or acetone ready in case any CA that runs out of the joint and
onto the covering. I have been told this can happen, it never happens to me

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have used a crayon from my sons toy box,
sharpened, and drawn along the hinge line. This not only serves as an
alignment point, but also as a release agent for the glue. I guess I
should also note I haven't used that method on most of my planes ( just
wicked in CA at the hinge line, let dry, and flex vigorously back and forth
) with great results too. You shouldn't worry too much about making
the hinge stiff - just be sure you are using THIN CA!! :-)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am about to install the CA hinges
(fiberglass) on two of my winter projects and I would appreciate any
recommandations on the proper procedure to do it. I have the tight slots
done. I am worrying about the glue making the hinge stiff. How do I ensure
the glue doesn't go in the flexing area ?</FONT></DIV>
