Default RE: Ca Hinges

I've been using CA hinges for +20 years, and never had a failure. With that said... I'm just getting into turbines... but honestly, I would think a "3D" type aircraft would put more stress on the hinges than a Jet would. A 3D model is going to have high defection... and a lot of movement. Yes... the jet is going fast... but it's not trying to have 45 degrees of defection.

I guess I'll find out soon enough. I have CA hinged in my Falcon.
