Subject: Pietenpol-List: end-spinach hinge routing jigAnyone use a jig to route in their rudder / elevator hinges flush? I'm thinkingof making one and how to do it but maybe someone else has already gone to thetrouble of designing one. Should be pretty simple....I'm glad to be back into building after a long hiatus. It was great to meet afew folks at Brodhead and to see the variety of piets. Hopefully I can stillreach my goal of geting the fuse and tail sections completed and varnished bythe end of summer. Not too much further to go.Tom BrantBrooklyn Park, MN________________________________________________________________________________

TomGo here and check out how easily it can be done (Joe Krzes's web page).http://www.hal-pc.org/~hjkr/hingeslots.htmI followed this method but routed the slots after I had the tail sectionfully built. This way I was sure every thing would line up perfectly.However if I screwed up, I would have had to building a new tail.Fortunately its such a fool proof method it worked great.Chris TracySacramento,.
