Hinge Point Manufacturer
« on: July 17, 2017, 10:10:54 PM »
Any body know the manufacturer of this hinge point?  It's not Robart.  It only has one pivot per side which is what I am looking for.  Internet search didn't help.

Thx

Great Planes makes a hinge that looks quite similar.  Tower Hobbies has them in stock.

Robart makes identical ones. That may even be Robarts.

I don't remember the part number, I could dig it up if you need it. I believe I have it someplace.

You don't see many of them. Mine are really old.

Robarts hinges. Come in a small size (like 3/32"), 1/8" - the ones I use and a 3/16' version that is pretty good sized.

They do have hinge points that in the diagrahm have only one arm on each side....
This brand of hardware is pretty standard on euro built molded sailplane models, I'm all too familiar with. 
Not sure who the nearest distributor to you is.

  Quite possibly made by Graupner. See if Hobby Lobby has a website. They were always the Graupner importer. An no, not the craft store Hobby Lobby. I mean the one in Tennessee.
  Type at you later,

The MPJet site is cool but I couldn't figure out how you buy something from them.

OUR Hobby Lobby has apparently gone TU, perhaps related to the sale of Kavan to SIG. At that time, Graupner sort of went to "Graupner USA" or something to that effect. You might look at Central Hobbies in Billings, Montana. They might have a Japanese or Euro product like that, but I'm not saying they do...just a good place to look.  H^^ Steve

Edit: I looked at the MPJet website...some good and useful looking products there. I know Carlson engines in AZ carried/carries MP Jet engines, and I would also ask at Hobby Club. It might be they would know how to get the MP Jet stuff, because they carry Czech stuff. The alternative would be to ask Igor for some help.
