...Nodd, the first sign of any possible "hinge distress" will tend to show up on the longer hinge lines such as on the ailerons. This can occur if the wings flex up under load and you're flexing the ailerons at the same time. So keep an eye on all the hinges but especially the ailerons...
No kidding, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah these wings are likely to be prone to some flex. I supose placing small gaps here & there along the hinge tape/covering might help with that, although that'd also introduce more places for a crack to form. I guess we'll see what happens. Thanks for the tip.
