Great video. They look EZ to install. Just cut a Vertical notch, Perpendicular to the hinge line and you should be good to go. What I think I would do is leave the existing hinges in place, to keep the perfect pivot point locked in place. Fit and glue the second set in while slowly rotating the hinge until the glue dries. That way the new hinge will move to the position of least resistance. Probably just glue One of em at a time to keep everything under control. After all installed, cut out the old set. That way you're using the perfect, existing, pivot point locked in as a reference. Just an idea.
I’ve never noticed that type of hinge before. They look super east to install. I’m going to have to order a package next time I order from Motion RC. Personally, I would just sand the inserted flat walls and use Epoxy. Great video.
I love that plane to mate,i hope to get one very soon, thanks for all your hard work and time i really appreciate it very interesting topics, stay safe and sound all the best from England 🇬🇧🔥🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥🛩️✈️😁👍
@@GRIFFINRCPLANES well.... I bought from todohobby a real one famous shop here in Spain, I putted on it a "paper" hinges on wings and elevator, I checked all the servo horn screw( when I putted on the elevator) and all are rubbish they have a wood screw not for metal and I had to change all of them too, I don't know why we get this kit like that because there are not ok with the quality of hobbico before and I wrote to hobbico and noone answer it
Guess you proved that no two Birds are...ever...exactly the same...🤔 Need to check the product numbers since E-flite has two versions for this Extra: EFL11550 & EFL115500. These would be on the invoices & on the display boxes the Birds came in. The former was discontinued & was replaced with the newer '00' version that has the pinned hinges. It's possible you might have been sold the older version instead...😳 Or, maybe it really was a Friday or Monday production goof...😶
they are both 11550 ar636 receivers i got one 6/2020 and the 2nd around 4/2021 i just went and looked at my order history at tower and horizon. there records only go back to 2020 FYI what a mystery
