A lot of the ARF's out now use CA hinges. They work fine, and, if installed correctly are excellent and easy to install. All of my planes, including my Seagul Super Star 120 have the CA hinges installed.

I've only had one CA hinge fail on me and that was my fault. I applied CA twice to one side of the hinge and it failed fairly quickly after I did the installation. I ended up cutting all the hinges and re-installing them.
