RE: CA substitute_Hinges
Hinging is the last thing I do--be it a kit or an ARF. I usually end up building a plane 2 or 3 trimes by the time it's ready to fly. With kits, I build the entire model without covering. Then strip the servos and linkages out of it. Cover the model and install the gear again. Last thing I do is install the control surfaces and drop the CA in the hinges. Connect the clevis for the pushrod and toss it in the truck. Off to the field I go.
I am lucky. I do not suffer from the severe allergic reactions to CA that some modelers do. It's irritating, but not enough to make me stop using it.
