Hey Good topic,
I hate the CA hinges. The surfaces always come out too stiff and I can't get enough throw from them. Even if I do the servos are really straining to get there.
I also agree that pinning the hinges is overkill. Just plane old epoxy and pinned hinges do the trick for me. This time I used the removable pin type and used a full length of .032 wire to fill the gap. I get mondo throw just letting gravity pull them down now. A real PITA to do, but for the performance over the life of the aircraft it's worth it.
