Apogee Heli-Roc Build Part 13 Hinges




In Step 12, the hinges are cut to this profile. With one side trimmed down, it better fits the contour of the body tube. Scissors easily cut through the hinges.






The rotor is marked for the untrimmed side of the hinge with the Hinge Placement Guide .

The instructions suggest using a felt tip pen, but a pencil line was easy to see on the tissue paper.




The back of the hinge was coated with thick CA. The thick CA gives you a little extra time for positioning.

Once in place, small drops of the thick CA were applied into the holes on the hinge with a toothpick.
