I believe what the above are talking about is not the hinges pulling out, but actually breaking. Have also seen this in the gassers at my field and for some reasons worse on the ailerons.
Good Luck,
Twinman

Thanks for that info!

I am presently assembling the Jamara Spitfire 60 ( ASP .91 4/stroke) and this kit features CA furry hinges which need to be CA'd into place on wings, ailerons, rudder and elevator. Are these the type of CA hinges that you refer to that are failing? They are circullar in shape with a brushed surface that makes them appear furry!
