Scott, if you are considering electric, I would recommend the Carbon/Kevlar version. Danny took a lot of weight out of the plane and his in electric form.

Hinging control surfaces. There has been some written on this already, but here are the steps.

First, sand about a 1/8 inch top bevel on the aileron and elevator leading edges. See photo. This gives a little extra bite on the hinge and also provides a nice looking hinge line.
