Default Texas Hurricane

I got my Hurricane today and I am very pleased with the workmanship. Simply put, it is a very good looking plane. The anodized control horns and the heavy pushrods are the nicest "in the box" hardware I have had on any ARF I have built. Can't wait to get started. I do have a couple of questions for anyone that may have an opinion to share.

- The instruction give the option of epoxying the stabilizer in place or screwing it in place for possible removal later. Is this an advantage and is there an issue of stability compared to being epoxied in place?

- I have seen many threads on the hinge question. The kit has CA hinges in place calling for ONE drop of CA per side. They look to be standard CA hinges (no slot). I use them on my .60 size aircraft and have never had a problem. On this size plane do I use them or put in my Robart points?

Thanks for your input.
