Does anyone have long-term experience with the fowler flap hinges from Hobby Lobby? By long term, I mean reliability over a few years. They seem like a decent idea, but there stresses on this hinge that may cause failure with time. I understand that the hinges are designed/supplied by a German company, which means that they are likely reliable, but still...

I'm thinking about use on 1:6 and 1:4 scale planes: a Beaver and a PZL Wilga with large flaps. I could fabricate a fowler-style hinge from Robart hinge points, but these hinges interest me.

My Feedback: (2)

I've been using them on a Telemaster and have had no problems. They appear to be well made and have broad attachment points.
