RE: Monokote Hinges
I've been using Mirwins method for years with both the films like Monocote and the fabrics like Solartex on many very large (1/4 scale size) as well as the smaller ones. I've never had a hinge failure even with the big Pheaton with the Quadra 72 on it (at least 500 flights if not a 1000) and the hinges are as good as when new. You can not beat it for functionality nor reliability. The nice thing is that you can leave the trailing edge of the wing squared off, the leading edge of the aileron squared off and have perfect function, no gap and no cost (use the scraps from the other coverings).
