JIMESTES,
Hinges broke.

MinnFlyer,
Guess your right on about the wax pencil not working, the hinges broke, however, the hinges are still very secure inside the elevator and stabilizer.
I hadnt seen that particular thread, however, have seen enough combined to have read the information given.
The hinge gap was sufficient to allow free and excessive travel prior to contrioll horn installation.
Considering all the precautions taken, if I still am in error, then I feel that the hinges require too much special attention to be anywhere near worth the effort.
I will now go with Robart or Dubro from now on.
To all, as Ive said, I have used ca hinges with no problems in the past and there may well have been something I could done during istallation to have prevented this problem from occurring, however, I believe its in my best interest to try a different product from now on to protect my investment and fun.
Have fun
Roger
