Amount of Robart Super Pin Hinges
Ok so my 31.5% Staudacher plans call for 3 hinges for the Rudder and each elv. half. Is this a good a mount of hinges? Also they only go threw 3/8 x 1" Balsa! Should they be mounted in hard wood?
Thanks Baker |

I'd space them about every 3" and if you have the means, add some material. 1" is ok but if you can, make the hard points the depth of the hinge.

So just going through the 1" balsa will be ok? I have 13" of length for placing hinges on my elv.

Yes. 1" will be ok. I'd place one 1" in from each edge and three more evenly spaced between.

Re: Amount of Robart Super Pin Hinges

Re: Amount of Robart Super Pin Hinges
Which method are you planning to use for sheeting your wings?
