Sounds like you used the same technique over and over?
Ummmm....No..... perhaps you weren't able to understand what I said?
Thank you, I make my own luck by working carefully. Also, I'm not a speed demon, just the usual sport flyer not trying to overtax my models. Besides, there's plenty of that kind of luck going around because there are plenty of us who haven't experienced these failures.
Yeah, but there's also a good percentage that HAVE had failures. Numbers don't lie, OH WAIT.... every failure MUST be due to poor workmanship, or flying faster than a 40 size cub with a 25 size motor.
Of course we have problems with every product we use, and that's my point. We as a group abuse stuff and it fails. Shoddy work practices, wrong adhesives, and inappropriate applications (used in .40 size models with .90 engines) are likely behind these failures.
Before I'll take somebody's word that a product is "junk" I want to see how it was installed, used, and abused. Polls like this one can't tell the whole story. I'm not trying to start a war, just resisting this tendency on some people's part to malign a good product on the inadequate grounds that it didn't work for them.
Well, beg to differ with ya swooperer, but these kinds of polls tell us a great deal about the products we use, and how they are performing.
CA hinges "can" fail, whether you think so or not. If your having good luck with'em, well good for you, but don't imply that everbody that's had one go bad was due to the fault of their own, as that is simply not true.
