On the Wagstaff Extra I'm putting together I'm using CA hinges from Sonic-Tronics. They have a slot cut in them which supposedly helps in the wicking action towards the rear of the hinge. I would think the slot eliminates the need for a drilled wicking hole. The instructions say to put the hinge in one surface, apply CA, and then add the other half of the surface, such as the aileron, and apply CA again. I thought it would be better to install the hinge in the trailing edge and then attach the aileron, etc. first and then apply 4 or 5 drops to both sides of the hinge.

When applying the CA to the hinge, are you using the really small applicator? It's small enough that you can get it right down to the hingle line and then count the drops as you apply pressure.
