Default Hinges

I am new to RC so this <u>may not </u>belong in the kit area.

I am well into a Telemaster 40 electric kit build. The kit came with pinned plastic hinges for the flaps (I am not installing moveable flaps) and the fabric type hinges for everything else. I like the pinned plastic (Dubro) hinges better, canuse the flap hinngesfor the ailerons, and buy more for theelevator and rudder. What are your thoughts on which type of hinge is easiest to install, and which type works the best? Toward that end, how does one keep from glueing the bendy portion of the fabric hinge thus making it stiff, and how does one anchor the hinged plastic type of hinge?

Thanks,

Frog
