Default HINGES....

I have been flying my Cap since 12/10/01 and have about 100 flights on it. So far so good. It only takes about 3 drops per side on the C/A thing. Too much and like in the earlier posting says... damming of the C/A at the hinge line will cause a bind against the hinge when that surface is deflected against the built up C/A.
One way to relieve that problem is to cut a little of the film away from the hinge line exposing the wood where the hinge is inserted. This seems to work best for me.
