Hinges?
« on: October 11, 2019, 10:56:24 AM »
What's the best choice for molded nylon pinned hinges these days. I remember that Klett hinges were highly regarded, but are now unobtainable.

Dubro

Their pins are about .01 larger than the std piano wire for both the standard and the large sizes making them work great if you are using a full wire for removable flaps/elevators.  Slide in and out without any much argument.

The  Arrowhead  hinges  I have in my kits, they have  been great  for  decades now, tough light  do not  break as easy as  others
If not the  Dubro are  among  the only ones left in production, not including  CA hinges

Where do the Arrowhead hinges come from?  I can't find them anywhere.
