I was just wondering how many of you use nylon pinned hinges?

I recently had to re-hinge the elevator and rudder of my DP Ultimate. I have found that CA hinges tend to split after a period on surfaces that have a lot of throw (movement). Especially if you use the low grade hinges supplied with most kits. You also have to be careful not to set the surfaces to close together thus inhibiting throw range.

In any event, I used Robart Hinge Points on the rudder because the supporting stock was thick enough. On the elevator I used Dubro nylon hinges for the first time and loved them. When installed with the pin NOT imbedded in the surface it sets the gap perfectly for maximum throw. It is then very easy to seal the gap and have a full throw hinge that is bullet proof and will not ever break. A slight amount of more work than CA hinges, but I'm hooked.
