NOTE: For Hinge Points only a single center line is necessary.

Tip: use a small drop of light oil or a small dab of Vaseline on the hinge line to prevent glue binding up the hinge.

NOTE: If the Hinge Point is too long, snip off barbed end to fit. Congratulations! You have installed the perfect hinge.

Hinge Point Pockets may be installed in the wing or aileron only for instance, or in both the wing and aileron according to preference. The latter allows broken hinges to be removed completely without further damage to the model.

a.) Insert the Hinge Point into the pocket and tighten the set screw with the allen wrench provided.
b.) Mark and drill the surfaces as detailed earlier in steps 1 through 4.
c.) It is strongly advised that soap or modeling clay be squeezed into the recess on the top of the set screw to keep glue out of the threads.
d.) Inject glue into the drilled hole or slot then insert the hinge and pocket assembly, wiping away excess glue.
e.) Allow the glue to set then loosen the set screw and remove the control surface if required.

NOTE: It is permissible to shorten the pockets where there is insufficient room to accommodate the full length. Cut off the pointed end then plug the opening to prevent entry of glue.
