mbilar1, You made the right choice and you won't have to worry about hinge breakage!! I had a Shoestring that was given to me from another pilot. The plane was made from plans and was at least 3 years old. All the control surfaces were mounted using the CA hinges. After a few flights the rudder would suddenly vear hard to the right on a take off run. It took a while to find the problem but it turns out that the bottom hinge on the rudder had broke in the middle. At larger throws the rudder would slip by the broken hinge and twist to the right. When the rudder was straighted out, everything looked ok. I made new slots and managed to replace the hinge with a nylon type with the steel pin. [8D]
