Yes Tom . . .

we are not talking about homes, cars, or trucks. We are talking about our models.

I was making a comparison to make people think about their reasons making their choice.
Many use CA hinges just because they find them in the kit or because they have used them before without knowing why.

I wish to read the advantages of using CA hinges over pinned hinges.
We still have to cut slots identical to slots for pinned hinges.
Why should we spend battery power to bend plastic?
Why should we have gaps to our control surfaces so there is some lenght for the CA hinge to bend when we can have no gap and no oppositon to rotation ?

CA hinges are descendents of the old times when we were using sewing threads or ribbons before the advent of the plastic industries. Threads and ribbons even had less opposition than a thickness of plastic.

Let us come to modern technology .
