RE: gluing hinges
If you're talking about the Robart style of pinned hinge points (the kind you drill a hole for--not slotted hinges), I always use 30-minute epoxy, but I've heard Gorilla Glue and Pacer hinge glue are also great.
In R&D at Hobbico, we pretty much always use 30-minute epoxy for these types of hinges. Epoxy doesn't bond well to the plastic of the hinge point, but it's a mechanical bond that holds the barbs of the hinge point in. I never use anything faster than 30-minute because you need the working time--you must thoroughly coat the inside of each hinge hole as well as the hinge--I use a piece of leftover 2-56 pushrod wire to do this. I also put a few drops of oil on the pin and where the two halves of the hinges meet.
One time, a long time ago on a crashed model, I tried pulling an aileron off of a wing that had been hinged as described above (with epoxy). With all of my strength I couldn't separate the aileron from the wing and the hinges held. So I'm content with epoxy.
And if you get any epoxy in the hinge gap you can easily chip it off with an X-Acto knife (well, if the model is covered with iron-on film like MonoKote).
