ORIGINAL: STATUS TUNING
My factory pin hinges lasted one flight on the rudder so beware if you use std hinges, i have a feeling mine were damaged when "freeing" the glue after install (i use the brand "hinge" glue). Never had an issue before yesterday but the new robart ones are fine and seem much better made.
ST,
I had the same problem with the hinges and changed all of mine, go back to post 74 and after. I took pics on how poorly mine were installed and how I changed them out.. Glad you didn't crash your bird....
