I have used both plastic hinges and the super glue hinges.
On a .25 sized plane I don't pin, but any thing bigger will get 1 or even 2 tooth pick pins.
I am thinking I will use Robart hinges on this plane. I have future project that needs Robart style hinges (a 60cc 1/3 scale Pitts, plans build) for scale effect. Iv'e never used them so it is time to learn.
On the plastic hinges I like to remove the pins, and then replace with a real small diameter the length of piano wire the length of the control surface. That makes the control surface easy to remove if needed. Those planes have always been bigger than a .25. And they also tend to get 2 tooth pick pins each half.
