To day I was cleaning up my airplane, and I realized that one of the 4 CA hinges holding the elevator to the stab was torn in half. So how do I go about fixing it?, will I have to rip off the rest of the stab, or is there another way? Also, are those CA hinges generally reliable or should I start using a different style hinge? I'm surprised that this happened because this is my LT-40 that only has about 40 flights on it, and I cant think of a time when the elevator has been under alot of stress.

Thank you, and any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.
