The CA hinges referenced in the above examples are those you get in most kits and that you buy at the local hobby store. They usually come in sheets. Cutting to shape each hinge is required. The problem I experienced, and what apparently most others have experienced is that with a larger gas model airplane the hinges break in two at the flex point as though cut with a knife. In my case, this was not the result of 3-D flying or aggressive throw set-up. Several fellow pilots with years of experience using CA hinges in various models were stumped as to why mine failed. There is a history about this subject that many of us had heard about, but just didn't take seriously enough to realize just how easily this can happen. That said, I'm not sure any CA hinge would be a solution after what I have read and now personally experienced. Here are a couple sites provided in a post on another thread that Basinbum passed along. These sites explain how to install hinge points.

The problem many of us are having is that there isn't enough wood to bite into for the hinge point to be secured in the movable surface. The obvious solution is to cut away the covering and add a hard point block to add additional wood for mounting. What appears to be a reasonable solution is to drill through the wood, use Gorilla glue, which expands and hardens when making contact with a small amount of water. This then forms a plug behind the hinge point. The glue also expands around the ribs on the hinge point helping to add strength.

I am going to test before applying this application today. Once I'm confident how to do this and that it will work I will then apply to the elevators on my Pitts and let you guys know how it went. If I can do it anyone can.
