Easy RC Hinges from Milk Containers

Easy RC Hinges from Milk Containers In this video I will demonstrate a very easy method to use the tough plastic from normal milk containers as hinges for your RC model aircraft. The plastic is cut away from the milk container. Sand round the edges of each control surface such that they do not bind during movement. Use an X-acto knife to cut a slot in both of the control surfaces. Use 5 minute epoxy to glue the hinges in place, trying to remove any excess glue. Repeat with the other control surface. Be sure to keep the surface flexing while the glue dries to prevent the hinge from being rigid. The milk container hinges are a simple and low cost way to make effective RC model airplane control surfaces.
