Just regular CA hinges. I've had more problems with fun fly & 3D planes breaking hinges than I ever had on seaplanes. The previous plane with these floats did not have a hinge failure.
If I ever have a hinge problem, I sew the surfaces together with figure 8 hinges using Kevlar thread.
Thinking back I've never had a CA hinge fail, it has always been the wood around the hinge.
I've never heard of a figure 8 hinge. Is that just a hinge made of the kevlar thread?
