I've got a repair to do now on my Great Planes Decathlon's rudder as one of the CA hinges have broken. It is not an arf but it does use the same hinge material found in all great planes kits. The last time I flew it the weather was cold <0 ........

It may have a lot to do with all the hammer heads, and wicked snap rolls with a fully deflected rudder though!

I must say that this is the first time I have had a CA hinge break on me and I've been flying with CA hinges since the early 90's.......
