rwf1953,
I've been keeping up w/ your posts regarding the CA hinges, and appreciate the knowledge gained by other's experience. I still have my GP Pitts in the box, and until your posts, I was planning on using the CA hinges. I now will use a pinned hinge. This will be my first gasser.

I suspect the failures are due to the gassers vibrating more than smaller single cylinder glow engines. I was just talking with one of our club members today that refused to try gas because of (among other things) the violent shaking of the engines and abuse it can cause the airframe and radio equipment. He likes the huge multi-cylinder glows.

I am still putting the Fuji 50 in my Pitts, but for sure will use better hinges.
Thanks for all the knowledge you have shared regarding yours!!
