Default just say no to CA hinges!

The stock GP ca hinges are garbage!


I used them on my first build of this plane, even used a grease pencil to keep em flexing.


Lost 3 of 4 on rudder, landed ok.

Lost an elevator half not long after, bent the gear on that landing.

Like Silvereagle2 said....."why take the risk on a plane this size and cost"???


FYI: robart pinned hinges with the jig are EASIER to install than CA hinges, they fall right in.
