Default RE: Hinge Update

Update: After a couple of my clips broke in early July, I ordered some replacements from Great Planes. They came in this week.
After about 60 flights in a season of use, my firewall had come loose, and one of my elevator CA hinges tore. The firewall was easy to fix; I'm still trying to figure how to best fix the hinge.
The good: I LOVE the way the airplane looks and flys, and the above issues would not change my mind about buying another, or the Christen Eagle.
By the way, Hobby Services were ADAMANT that the clips I would recieve would be the same as I already had, but they're not. They are stainless, and a heavier guage.
