Default RE: Hinge problem

I recently completed a GP cap 232 27% unsing the supplied robart style hinges. They're good but I've seen a fair few fail on planes I've seen and/or bought, so in an effort to make sure that didn't happened, I made extra sure there was enough epoxy in each hole and all over the barbs of the hinges.

Seems good, but after all that I feel they're heavy, and I still don't trust them that much. Time will tell I guess.

for the record, I've used CA hinges on pattern ships and haven't had a problem, but I do like the klett/ fu-bro style hinge, where i can run a single wire through all the hinges, and remove the control surface if need be. I don't know why but I feel safer with this setup than anything else.
