60-Pack Pinned Nylon Hinges for RC Airplane - 3 Sizes, Foldable, 6 Holes Each Side

This 60-pack of pinned nylon hinges from Yrhrol gives RC model builders a versatile set for connecting ailerons, elevators, and rudders on fixed-wing aircraft. Each hinge has six holes per side for epoxy or glue retention, and the leaves fold up to a 30-degree angle. The pack includes 20 small (0.47 x 0.94 inches), 20 medium (0.63 x 1.14 inches), and 20 large (0.79 x 1.42 inches) hinges, all made from sturdy white nylon. Weighing just 0.6 grams per hinge, they are light enough for foam or balsa models. Designed for DIY hobbyists who want reliable, replaceable hinge points without slop.

What Sizes Are in the 60-Pack and How Much Do They Weigh?

The assortment covers the most common control surface sizes in park flyers and larger models. Small hinges measure 0.47 x 0.94 inches (12 x 24 mm), medium are 0.63 x 1.14 inches (16 x 29 mm), and large are 0.79 x 1.42 inches (20 x 36 mm). Each hinge weighs 0.6 grams – total pack weight around 1.2 oz (34 g). The small package weight is listed at 0.043 lbs, medium at 0.025 lbs.

Design and Material – Nylon with a 30-Degree Fold

Each hinge is molded from white nylon with a pinned center. The two leaves pivot up to 30 degrees, which is enough for typical control throw in sport and scale airplanes. Six holes on each side give you multiple glue‑anchor points. The nylon is strong and resists fuel and vibration – the same material used in many aftermarket RC hinge sets.

How to Install These Hinges on Different Model Materials

Installation method depends on the foam or wood you are using. For KT board (depron‑like foam): cut a slot at each end of the control surface joint, apply hot melt glue inside the slot, insert the hinge, and let cool. The glue locks the hinge so it cannot pull out. For balsa wood: use thin CA (502) glue – apply a few drops into the slot and insert the hinge. Important: keep glue away from the hinge pin itself. If glue gets on the pin, the hinge may bind or lose flexibility.

FAQ

• Are these hinges suitable for large gas models? The hinges are marketed for smaller to medium RC airplanes. Large heavy models may need heavier‑duty hinges. Check weight and surface size against your build.
• Does the 60-pack include different sizes or only one? It includes three sizes: 20 small, 20 medium, 20 large.
• What is the hole size for glue? The supplied data does not specify hole diameter. Typical nylon hinge holes work with thin or medium CA and epoxy.
• Can I use these for helicopter or drone controls? They are designed for fixed‑wing control surfaces (aileron, elevator, rudder). For rotary‑wing or multirotor linkages, consult your build guide.
