Hinges - Live - Ultratough and Flexible

Question: Do VMAR ARFS use so called one piece "Live" hinges or the two piece hinge with a metal pin holding them together?

Answer: We have used both in the past but since mid 2003 we have used one piece live hinges. We use a proprietary composite hinge material that has a textured surface and is very flexible, extremely strong and bonds well with CA or Epoxy.  Extensive testing and the experience of building 10's of thousands of ARFS using our live hinge material has confirmed that our live hinge allows us to give modelers a nice looking result that is simply the strongest in the industry.
