Default U Can Do 3D

"When your hinges failed did they all rip or just pull out intact?"
Marc,
All of the broken hinges fractured at the hingeline, with each half still firmly glued in place. The rudder hinge broke after 2 flights, the elevator hinge after 5 flights, and the aileron hinges after about 20 flights. For more details on this subject, see the "CA Hinges on UCD" thread in the 3D Flying forum.
