Default RE: hinges failed ?

Well,
I have about 20 flights on this plane. The LT40 was ARF so I installed the hinges. I did not have any
problems installing them and I put the recommended amount of thin CA on them. They passed the tug
test when I installed them. When I installed them, I did use a Tpin to ensure that I had the hinges
installed correctly (tpin in the center of the hinge when installing). It was a technique that I saw recommended
for installing the CA hinges.
