1/4 Scale Extra 300S
Hello everyone. I was getting my Extra ready for this years flying season last night and noticed that one of the CA hinges on the left elevator has let go. The three that are left are still holding strong. Just wondering if there is any way to fix it??

if you can get the angle on the control surface, I would replace it with a pinned hinge. I have had terrable luck with ca hinges. If it is not loose on both sides, you should be able to put some acetone on the hinge and let it wick into the glue joint and remove it. (MEK works super if you can find it)

Hey! Thanks for the advise, I'm cutting the rest of the CA hinges and replacing them all with pinned hinges. It's a bit of a task but its worth the end result and the peace of mind!
