Nice work, Glenn! Flying videos, please!

Some tips and tricks on hinging the this particular (and recondite?) model:

About epoxy... I make sure I'm using it 1 to 1. You don't need "a little extra hardener." It's a better product at the recommended 1 to 1. Your bottles should be being used up equally:

Nicely done! Thanks! And, the bright side is that I get to show you a few things about how the plane is built, and also I get to thin CA the hinge balsa blocks. :) This first pic not only shows the materials, design and workmanship, but also probably shows why these wings are 2-1/2 oz heavier than ...

Yeah, sure, blame the monkey.... Thing about Monkey that you have to understand... he's a frustrated builder. Add to that his duties "on the bag" (protecting my Taylormade driver for the last eight years without so much as even looking at a model airplane), and you have a monkey on the lo...

Okay, yeah, so I walk in after dinner and Monkey is all, "Wtf did you do to the plane?!" And, I'm all, "Ah geez, you're kidding me man!" 20150815_192504.jpg So, Monkey says, "What the hell did you do?!" And, I'm all, "What the hell did =you= do?!" 20150815_192...

Dropping back a second... I did finally get my hands on some Super Lube! haha I've used this stuff for years (don't say it!), and was glad to get some more vs using Vaseline. Using Super Lube just sounds a lot cooler than using Vaseline! I spread a healthy amount over the hinge knuckle and also work...

I'd have to say, Jim, if a guy isn't really prep'd and organized... along with being super fast... 30 minute epoxy on the ailerons hinges, both sides at the same time like the manual shows... is a challenge. For doing the aileron and wing at the same time the 45 minute working time gorilla glue you ...
