Default RE: Heads up, CA hinges



Interesting thread, and a very important thread as well.</p>

I have been using CA hinges since I started with rc airplanes and I have never had a crash due to hinge problems. I have seen alot of different planes and most planes actually has CA hinges today, its what most arfs comes with in the box. It is very important to use correct amount of ca glue to the hinges. I am allways affraid that I use to little glue, but whats better, too little or too much? Well too much glue will make the hinge very brittle and it will crack over time. My personal opinion is to change to pinned hinges, the du-bro. ones works perfect!</p>

This is all just my opinion, but after I stopped using CA hinges I am alot more relaxed when I fly. I just dont worry about the hinges failing anymore </p>
