A friend brought me a fuselage the other day. He had jammed the rudder into someones back while carrying it. In doing so he managed to destroy 2 of the CA hinges. I know they were OK that morning because I had looked the plane over for him before he flew it. I cut the remaining 2 CA hinges (one partially torn) and installed pinned hinges for him.
I've only had CA hinges break once and that was while I was carrying the plane into the house I bumped the rudder into the door. I repaired with Robarts because it was the easiest thing to do. I like them OK and never had a in flight failure. Of course I fly ARF's too and I know that there are some posting here that would never own one.
