I have a TF P47 with a 108 engine & the hinges are fine after 13 years. I crashed it once &
one of the things I remember was the balsa trailing edges broken to pieces but the hinges
stretched but not broken.

I also have a 15 year old, 110 inch B-36 with CA hinges also fine.

Make sure you pin them as well, I use dressmakers pins from the bottom of the wing & tail.
Also buy good quality hinges from a reputable company like Dubro or Great Planes.

What did Forest Gump say? Cheap chinese accessories are like a box of chocolates.............
