Default RE: time for hinges

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">i'm seeing a trend develop and need to break it. all you minnasota boys. i use the CA hinges and love them. i've never had a problem with them pulling out. i have started my switch over to the robart hinge points though; i think they're easier to get centered on the control surfaces. i have a hinge slotting tool and the little red marker thing from GP, but for some reason, i can't get the hinge slots perfect. the robart one clips on the wing and you drill a hole. kind of hard to mess that up. i used to use the nylon ones and drill holes through the top and bottom of the wing and surface and grind off tooth picks after poking them through and into the hinges instead of gluing them. i thought that was always going to be my nemesis, but i got away from them. the CAones are awesome and i'm starting to like the robart ones better.

if you can't pull it out by hand after gluing them in, they're not falling or slipping out. </span>
