Is this the ARF or kit? You mention it came with CA hinges so I'm guessing ARF. I have built the kit with Robart hinges and it's easy. You can buy the hinges and get a free drill guide. This is a plus as the drill guide will center the hinge.

Robart hinges are easy to install and I have never had a failure. Do a search and there are all kinds of tips for installing. Main thing is to avoid glue on the hinge part. I use Gorrila glue, but you can use epoxy also.

Hinge spacing on this plane I would use 4 to maybe 5 for the ailerons (did I spell this correctly??) and 3 to 4 for the elevator. Maybe 4 or 5 for the rudder.

Robarts are really easy compared to pinned and CA hinges. Haven't used anything since.
