I have used CA hinges without any failures on 40-46 size planes-but I did have some GP CA hinges delaminate when I was checking them prior to assembly. I since only use Radio South Giant Scale hinges and they seem to be thicker and really suck up the CA-just use the suggestions mentioned above and they should work fine. On larger planes- I only use the Robart style hinge. With their drill guide the Robarts are easy to install.

I was recently flying a combat plane with RS CA hinges, got "shot down" and about all that was left was the engine, part of fuselage, and stab with elevator still intact. Rest was left hanging in a pine tree, did not get to inspect those parts. Flipstart
