CA Hinges vs Nylon Hinges
I recently had a little bit of a hard landing with my 90 size Funtana and popped the CA hinges out of the rudder. I'm a bit concerned to repair it with new CA hinges because the existing area that the old CA hinges were is already soaked and hardened with old CA. I was planning on expoxying in nylon hinges for the repair job. Does anyone have any thoughts on the do's and don'ts of a job like this? I've only used nylon hinges one other time and got along OK with it (slicing the slot a little bigger, scratched up the hinge a little more before insertion for a better bite with the epoxy, smeared vaseline in the hinge part so as not to get any epoxy in it, etc.). Thanks for any advice!
