Hello Everyone, I have brought a 2nd hand K8 with a 3.8 wing span there about's, it's a old model which has been built up very nice but the aileron hinges have been taped on, which in it's day would have looked very sleek but now with age the tape has started to peel and come unstuck. My questions is do i use tape again if so which or should i make another pair of ailerons and hinge them with hinges !!

Personally, being a subscriber to the belief that simple is best, I would probably just re-tape the ailerons and go fly!
I love the look of your model, btw. Where did you get it from?
Jef

Morning Jef - I brought the model from a guy who is giving up on the larger size models due to age, i have also got to fit a tow release as it's only been flown off the slope.
