Default RE: Ca Hinge Question

I really don't trust that small mylar to handle large aircraft with the torque and stress involved. Please state your thoughts on this. Thank you.
Did your CA hinges really have Mylar in them?

My Dubro CA hinges are made from one material, and do not have a plastic substrate like that.

I've found that CA hinges with plastic bases can debond over time, leaving behind the Mylar sheet stuck to the airframe as the control surface flutters away beyond sight!!
