Cecil, we talked a little about gluing hinges, so I tested mine today. The photo on the left is how a hing pulled from the aileron look when there is a good epoxy joint. Notice the very long slot for the orginal CA hinge, the slot is over3" long. The photo on the right shows how a hinge should break, the whole tang is still in the aileron but the hinge lugs are broken off. This is why I like the nylon hinges vs the CA hinges. They just plane hold.
