uh-oh. I take it back.
I've discovered that with a little trial and error, I stumbled on a technique where I can actually tear a CA hinge in half, almost as easily as if it were paper. This is a brand new hinge that never saw a drop of CA. Basically, it's a bit resistant to tearing, but once it starts to tear, it tears without any effort.
So... What to do? I'm currently building a .40-sized profile fun-fly that (like most) has big control surfaces. Anybody got any good ideas on easy to install hinges?
