I'm not the pro you guys may be but I have build a few planes and nothing big. But after tinkering around with several hinge types I believe any one of them might be the one I would pick for some application. As far as I know I've seen posts from knowledgable builders over time that have had failures with every one of them and others never have a failure with any of them. Its a mechanical part and doggone it; any of them can fail.

But in both kinds of pin hinges; pinned or point - you need to keep the glue out. And on the CA you need to get the glue in and in good.



Sorry, couldn't resist,
