Default Skymaster Hinges

Does anyone have any luck using the hinges that come with a Skymaster kit????

The ones that are knock offs of Robart hinges......

I have always used robart instead of the stock hinges.. On the BD 5 I am building the rudder hinges came glued into the rudder only.

Rather than drill them out and rebuild rudder to use robarts I just used the stock hinges...

Now that I have to rudder glued to the fin. I am seeing alot more play in the hinge pin than I am used to with Robart Hinges...

The play is a in and out movement....

Should I worry these hinges are going to wear out in 3 flights or will they be ok.....

Problem is now that it is all glued.....I dont even know what I would do to change the hinges.

Thanks for the input
