Why Use CA Hinges?

CA hinges are extremely popular for RC aircraft because they provide lightweight, smooth, and durable control surface movement while remaining easy to install. Thin CA glue penetrates into the hinge material and surrounding wood structure, creating a strong and reliable bond.

The thin 0.3mm profile helps maintain tight control surface gaps for cleaner airflow and more precise control response.

Recommended Adhesive

These CA hinges are designed for use with thin CA (cyanoacrylate) glue. Thin CA allows the adhesive to wick deeply into the hinge material and surrounding wood structure for a strong and lightweight bond.

• Recommended Glue Type: Thin CA Glue
• Works with popular RC adhesives such as Zap Thin CA
• Do Not Use: Thick CA, epoxy, or wood glue
• Always verify free hinge movement before final curing

Tip: After installing the hinge, apply several drops of thin CA to both sides of the hinge and allow the glue to fully wick into the material before moving the control surface.

Ideal Applications

• Sport RC airplanes
• Aerobatic aircraft
• Park flyers
• Foam and balsa aircraft
• Ailerons
• Elevators
• Rudders
• Lightweight control surfaces

Installation Tips

• Center hinges before applying adhesive
• Use thin CA glue for best penetration
• Allow glue to fully wick into the hinge material
• Verify free movement before final curing
• Do not oversaturate the hinge pivot area
• Wipe away excess glue immediately if needed
