RE: SuperXtra Question
Robart hinges are great hinges as long as you keep the glue out of the joint. It tends to wick back up the hole and get in the joint. Just a little glue will bugger up the pivot. I hate the tape method. I have used both methods and I have found that I seem to have less flutter problems with the Robart hinges than with the tape. Plus the tape tends to come apart after a while. (That is if the airframe lasts that long!) I have a shock flyer that is 8 months old and I have had to re-tape the hinges 3 times. I would try again with the Robarts and be extra careful gluing the hinges in. I used white glue and used a tooth pick to deposit the glue at the bottom of the hole. I worked perfect and the hinges work flawlessly.
