I used chips hinges, and have on others, I like them, no problems. Like you said, big thing is getting them saturated with glue. These are the only planes I use them on. On my fun fly planes and bang around stuff, I sew the hinges with aircraft string tie, used for cabling on full scales, I sew it one, zap it, and it will never fail, and has zero resistance. Old timers used to do this, usually people see my planes with those hinges and that is the talk of the day. Its nothing fancy, but works great.
But on nice gas planes I use CA hinges, looks a touch cleaner.
