TY1 Hinge Tape Roll 1/2in W x 180in L Tool - TY1-3105

The TY1 Hinge Tape Roll (TY1-3105) is a purpose-made control surface hinge tape for RC aircraft builders, designed to create flexible, durable hinges on ailerons, elevators, rudders, and flaps. Measuring 1/2 inch wide by 180 inches long (1.27 x 457 cm), this single roll provides enough material for a full build or multiple repair sessions. Hinge tape of this type is a widely used method in RC plane construction, offering a lightweight and reliable alternative to traditional pin or CA-glued hinges.

Key Features

• Dimensions of 1/2" wide x 180" long (1.27 x 457 cm) give generous coverage for full aircraft builds or ongoing repairs
• Designed specifically for hinging control surfaces including ailerons, elevators, rudders, and flaps on RC aircraft
• Flexible tape construction allows smooth, consistent deflection through the full range of control surface movement
• Lightweight material keeps added weight to a minimum, which is important on smaller RC planes and gliders
• Suitable for use during new builds and for re-hinging worn or damaged control surfaces

What's Included

• 1 x TY1-3105 Hinge Tape Roll (1/2" W x 180" L / 1.27 x 457 cm)
