Since this is your first attempt, trying these ideas on scrap is appropriate. The CA hits the crayon and immediately wicks into the wood. You only need 3 or 4 drops per hinge per side. Flex the pieces and see what you think. When you get done with each, let it fully cure, then destroy the sample by pulling till it breaks. if you make a couple of samples of each, your going to have a good idea of what works. It takes longer to write about it that to do the testing.

The problem with CA on the joint is not so much wicking into the hinge as build up of CA on the hinge and effectively gluing the surfaces together.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT use thicker CA. It won't wick and you will find out what happens when the hinge lets go in flight.. guaranteed.
