Default Hinge Material????

I am starting to finish a 2M pattern plane and would like to know what most of you are using for hinges? Hinge Points, CA Hinges, etc. What is your recommendation. The wings and horizontal are balsa covered foam.

Thanks in advance.

CA hinges - but test them by trying to tear them with pliers. Simply grasp them with two pliers facing each other and try to tear them, a lot of brands will fail. Radio South Pro hinges will pass and last 1000+ flights.
