Thanks for providing this great guide. I’m curious, what is the brand of Teflon oil you are using? The dispenser looks pretty handy for this application.

Thanks for the video. 1. I have installed my 3 light duty hinges on each of my ailerons. I thought they were all level using a ruler to align them but the Ailerons do not move freely and seem to catch as if one of hinges is out of align but not obvious which one. Any tips? 2.on the park flyer I thought the Pushrod Connector Linkage Stopper should be on the servo arm not the aileron/elevator/flap horn any comments?

Hi @heritagetony4331 here is the response from the team: This is why you always dry fit your parts BEFORE you glue them. Hard to tell what is really wrong without directly looking at it. Things could be warped, not just out of alignment. It's possible that glue got into one or multiple hinges. They may all be in a straight line on one axis but not another, as in vertically all are aligned but if you have one hinge set off in depth they will fight each other or even if one is rotated slightly than the others into the slot. As far as the second comment, a linkage stopper can be on any end. Some only recommend it on the servo end to keep weight forward of the tail but if your adjustability is needed on the tail then that's where you need to put it. Hope that helps!

I’m pretty good at beating up my Timber X. I’ve had a few tabs pull out. Do you think the tape is strong enough to replace the hinges or tabs?

That is for ailerons but what about flaps? Is there another video on how to put hinges on flaps? I suppose the procedure is different.

The approach is essentially the same. The hinge point is really the only difference. Hinges for main control surfaces are centered whereas flaps will have the hinge point closer to the top of the wing surface, making it off-center compared to your normal control surfaces. You'll want to check the plans of your model to be more precise. Remember to install your hinges and test the movement prior to applying the glue.

Is the tape paintable? I ask because I have the Hobby Zone Carbon Cub S2, and there is tape used to cover the channel/slot on the wings that the servo wires feed through, and also the servos. I was wondering if this is what they use. Thanks!

Hey Bruce, I just ran a paint test for you. I used enamel, krylon fusion, and acrylic paints. All of them work fine but I will note that any paint was rather easily flaking off with the rub of my fingernail. I then tried a bit of steel wool to rough up the surface and helped but could still be rubbed off. I suspect that a clear coat would help seal the paint on after applied. I would expect any latex paint to perform as well as the acrylic. I hope this helps!!!

@@JoshuaOrchard Thanks so much for doing this, I appreciate you taking the time. I think I'll follow your advice and try a clear coat over the base color. Thanks again!
