Default CA Hinges

I wouldn't put CA hinges on a jet, stick with the Robarts. If you do decide to go against the advise and use CA hinges make sure you put them in with odorless CA.

I have had success with CA hinges on larger planes with foam sheeted wings, but that is only because I had 1/4" thick bulsa epoxied to the hinge surfaces and I put the hinges in with odorless CA. As stated above regular CA will disolve foam (try it!), but the odorless CA will not.
