I have responded so many times to the CA question. You spent over $500 or more on your Bipe, $ 3-500 on your engine, please be wise and spend $10 on real hinges. This way you will never have to worry and seek proof that CA hinges work.
Just this last weekend, a guy flying a 33% Edge 540T had his rudder CA type hinged fail. Later on he totaled it.

I agree with Stiker I have never used them nor will I ever been flying for 25 yrs. and have always used dubro pin hinges never have had a problem.
Just recovered a plane for a fellow flyer he had ca hinges on it and every control surface pulled off by hand, although it did make recovering easier,plane now has good hinges in it.

Please be wise.
 

It is not only a concern for keeping your plane together, but when it comes apart and it's uncontrollably headed for people, then what!!

Please be wise.
 

I have never used CA hinges and never will. However, for those who want to use them, they could pin them just like I always do with Dubro giant scale hinges to prevent pull out if the glue fails. They probably fail because the CA did not wick in properly to begin with.

Please be wise.
 

CA hinges are ruled out under my policy:

"Use CA only for things that don't matter."

There aren't many of those on my planes.
