plus oil will break up CA later, espacially on the tail feathers or
on the hinges closest to the wing's root.
I hadn't heard this one yet. Can you provide some links to get more information about this?
CA will also wick into the flexing part of the CA hinge..making it hard
and brittle. a rip or crack will develope later.
i draw a center line on the hinge with crayons to prevent epoxy from
sticking to the flex piont and clean off the epoxy as much as i can.
Same comment. Can you point to some studies talking about this? Seems there must be thousands of planes out there about to experience catastrophic failure of hinges.
