I think this is the best place to post this.
Every once in a while there will be a post about CA hinges failing. Well. they do, and I don't mean pull out of the wood either.....
I was flying an older airplane the Hangar 9 Edge 540. I bought the airplane assemblied but never flown in 06.
Ok now for the story...warm day mid 70's no wind....was doing snap rolls..probably had done 4 or 5 and suddenly the airplane wanted to roll right, and got funny in pitch, the roll was much worse, than pitch.....tried to land south but the wing dipping made me abort that idea and I sure didn't want to go all the way around so I elected to swing wide and land north..... did get the airplane down....
Found that the right aileron inboard hinge had broken in half, all the wood around the hinge was secure. The airplane was flying ok before and between the rolls.....didn't notice anything during preflight....oh and I don't do power on snap rolls....
I got lucky all I have to do is change hinges....
I know anything can fail...just informing you all...
Good flying to ya
