a whole magazine article about CA hinges...
Great article and video. I watched the video and read the article before installing the CA hinges. One thing I took note of- the instructions for the ARF I'm building says when you put the aileron onto the wing to make sure there's a gap between the aileron LE and the wing TE (prior to gluing). The video and article say to put the aileron on, push it to close the gap, then flex the control surface each way so the hinge slides out of the slot slightly, creating the gap. The install was easy.
