Default Hinges

Hey all,

I was reading the latest issue of RCM and it was recommended in one of the articles to NOT USE CA hinges in aircraft with large movement. Now in my mind CA hinges might be OK with the hinge line sealed with covering top and bottom. I still think the Robarts might be a better answer.

Does anyone have any suggestions on Robart hinges? I have hinges two elevators, one rudder and one aileron...they seem perfect so far.

I have toyed with the idea of a carbon fiber tube, full length hinge but have not figured a project for such a beast yet, it would be nice to have a full length support that would be removable to some degree.
