Default RE: Hinges

I have and continue to use all 3 types that you mentioned. I like the Robart if the trailing edges ar thick enough to use them (I only build .40 and larger). I am not a big fan of CA hinges but have not had a problem on the occasions when used. With a pinned hinge the pins must be lined up to keep binding and wear at a minimum. Any/all hinges must be properly installed or failure may cost you a plane. [:@] There MAY be a quality issue in some CA hinges but I do not know that for a fact.
