Mine did use the hinges provided in the kit by G.P. I also drilled the hole to allow wicking and did apply a good dose of CA. I may have applied too much causing mine to harden and snap in the cold weather. This is a new airplane with only three flights on it. I doubt UV had anything to do with the failure seeing that the airplane had not been exposed to the sun maybe more than a few hours.

I went to my LHS and looked at the robart hinge points and concerned they are too big. The length really concerned me as well. I just can't see how these are going to work in the Pitts elevators because the wood is so thin. So, I purchased the Dubros pinned nylon hinges. I went hone and tried to test fit and the blade on my hinge sloy maker is too small and the hobby store is now closed. Going to have to wait until Monday to get the larger cutting blades. I think this may do the trick if I can get four of these in each elevator. I will have to cut beside the old hinge slots due to how hard the wood is after the CA cured. I picked up Gorilla glue. Anyone use this glue with Dubros pinned hinges or would you use epoxy?
