Default RE: Robart Hinges: opinions


ORIGINAL: pete913

Personally I don't like 'em. I've seen more than one instance where a mild crash that did little if any damage to the airplane sheared off every single robart hinge on it even though none of the flight control surfaces were damaged at all. My vote goes to the dubro type hinges or even sig easy hinges over robarts.
If you saw Robart hinge points shear off, then they weren't Robarts. Don't be confused by the GP version or the cheap Chinese knock offs. With Robarts properly glued in, you would destroy any control surface before the Robarts would shear.
