Exhaust residue on Cya hinges?
Hey all. I added a Mac's tuned pipe to my aero. Now the exhaust residue sprays all over the tail surface instead of the bottom of the wing. Does anyone have any bad experiences with glued in hinges coming in contact with the Castor and or synthetic oils in the exhaust?
I used thin Cya. on Radio South Pro-hinges.
Thanks, Marco.

I have CA hinges on all my planes, and never have had a problem with oil deterioration. My ultrasport has a pipe that soaks the elevator hinges. I'm sure the old fashioned "pinned hinge" people with chime in soon to discourage their use, but I've been using them for years without incident. Just be sure to do a good preflight each time if you're worried about it. A quick tug on each control surface is all it takes to check them.
