You may get the needed throws by simply working the hinges a bit harder. CA hinges will usually loosen a little. Don't worry about breaking them, (unless you are trying to, you won't). Better to find a weak hinge now than on your maiden, anyway. Sometimes, if the surfaces are too close, simply um....amending the balsa, by working the hinges will do.

Good luck and...
