Default Ca Hinges

Dear Jet Community. I have a Question . I have been using Ca hinges exclusively on all my jets with great success and no problems . An incident at our club on the weekend has me thinking. A guy with a Cadet (which is not a Jet but a big prop job )had his elevator ca hinges broke off . Is this a concern for me . Upon examining his hinges , I noticed that they tear very easily which make me think that were of inferior quality, and I think that the installation was also poor. Someone said that he used gorilla glue.

I would like to konw if I am ok or should i change my hinges to somthing like the Robart ones . Like I said I examined my CA hinges and they look fine . I flew right after and pulled some serious G"s and all is well .

I would like your comments

Thanks
