Default RE: hinges failed ?

Most of the time when a CA hinge breaks like that. It is because the surface was pushed up tight and then glued. A CA hinged surface should be pushed up tight then deflected then glued. If you get then to tight they will tear in the center. The gap will be a little wider on most plane when done this way. Better that then a failed hinge. You can always seal the gap later.
