When that happens, the elevator, rudder, ailerons, or flaps may develop slop or start to separate from the foam. In this Fix It RC video, I explain why foam hinges fail and show how to install nylon blade hinges to reinforce or repair foam control surfaces. This repair method works well for: ✔ Elevators ✔ Ailerons ✔ Rudders ✔ Flaps ✔ Foam control surfaces with torn or weak hinge lines ✔ RC airplanes that need stronger hinge support In this video, I cover: ✔ Why foam hinges fail ✔ How to inspect a worn hinge line ✔ Where to place nylon blade hinges ✔ Cutting hinge slots in foam ✔ Test-fitting the hinges ✔ Gluing the hinges securely ✔ Checking control surface movement ✔ Avoiding binding after the repair A properly installed blade hinge can make the control surface stronger, smoother, and more reliable than a worn foam hinge alone.
