H9 1/4 scale CAP 232 and Robart Hinge Points
Galen,
I am sure the Hinge points would work well, but the CA hinges are just fine. I have built 2 of these planes with gas engines and NEVER a problem with the CA hinges.

Go with the 310 size Robarts. Rub the elbow joint with chap-stick
to prevent epoxy from getting into joint.
I glue mine into the main surfaces first. Making sure they hang
down square with the trailing edge. Once cured then attach the control surfaces.

If you're worried about the stock CA hinges, you can get CA hinges for large-scale aircraft, they are distributed by Radio South.

Thanks to all who replied. I am not worried about using CA hinges on this model. There have simply been too many successfully flown for there to be a problem (for me not to know about it via these forums -- that is! 
). It's just that I've done CA hinges, and done iron on gapless hinges and wanted to give the Robarts a try. I try to push my knowledge a little with each model that I build. Even if it's only assembling an ARF...
Cheers!
