RE: Building the Hangar 9 Cessna 182 Skylane
I used CA type hinges all around for my 182, but not the ones supplied. There are several brands of quarter scale or giant scale CA hinges, which I typically upgrade to for this size model. I've used the ones from Radio South, and B & B, both with good results. For giant scale, I will often sometimes make them a little wider (e.g. 1 inch instead of 3/4 inch) and also put in more than the plans show. I also don't stick pins in them, as many instructions show to center during installation. I've never had one fail (sound of knocking on wood...).
