what color is your Jeti?

Great looking plane, love the scale scheme!! Welcome to the forums, Terry! I love the scheme, too. That really got my interest in the plane along with that bulbous canopy. haha I used photoshop a couple of months ago to change the black pin-striping to blue and knew that's what I wanted to do! Real...

Other than being scale, which does look cool, I don't see the advantage to doing it that way. Looks like it is just asking for trouble with improper installation. Also curious to see how the performance is. I have heard that pocket hinges don't perform as well. If the flight performance is degraded...

Okay, 100% success with the elevators with this method (slot end to slot end with no binding, over 60 degrees of travel): Glue the control surfaces first and let them setup before installing them in the plane 1) Lube the hinge with a thick coating of lube 2) Glue the hinge in to the control surface ...

I'm going to try my theory out on the elevators (that even with the hinges installed dry still had binding, which would make sense if the pins are not lined up, we need to line them up I think), and report back. I speculate that the following method will be good for getting a decent result with thes...

Okay, but here's what I speculate is the crux. And, if I'm right I'm kinda mad at myself because this is what worried me when I first went to glue in the hinges. I looked at the job, then looked at the instruction manual, then said to myself, "really?". I then called Rocco for, and I quote...

Okay, some good and bad about the hinging. One thing I want to make clear is it doesn't take any time. 14 years ago on even the nicest ARFs you had to cut your own hinge slots. And, then glue them. Here you only have to glue them in and that does not take any time. If you glue the surfaces first, li...

Took care of the other wing and changed the black stripe on top to blue.
