Default RE: CA hinges

I took this guy's trainer up, maiden flight, and it was handling squirrely so I brought it right down. The alierons were loose. CA on the hinges had wicked in less than 1/16". Turns out the guy used medium CA. So two lessons: use thin CA on hinges, and tug on the control surfaces before you take a guy's new plane out.
