I'm surprised Minn didn't post a link to his article on installing CA hinges:

What kind of CA are you using? You should be using the thin kind. If you can see it on the hinge, it sounds like either too much or it's too thick.
Edit: I forgot to ask, what size hinges are you using? They do make small sizes for smaller planes.
I am using thin CA, but I am making the mistake of gluing both the top and bottom of the hinge as well as gluing to the point where I can SEE the glue on the hinge. So I know I am using too much.
The hinges I am using, after trimming some, are still apprx. 1"X1/2" CA hinges, but I am considering trimming the new replacement ones down to apprx. 1/2X1/4. What size would you recommend??
