Hey roger, I'm really glad you didn't loose your plane with the hinge failure. I also read wher smaze had hinge failure to. I think this has to be a bad batch of hinges because I had about 50 flights on mine with the G-62 & no failures, by the way I just sold the pitts. I am now flying a hanger 9 edge with a fox 3.2 & it is awesome. I am building up a stock of 5945 hitec servo's & some other gear to outfit a 35-40% size plane. Glad to hear your bird survived.
Later
Gil
