Default Skinned Hinges - Minnesota Style

Its time to start working on the top of the wing, and the hinge.

The hinge I use is the Fiberglass .010 sheet I mentioned in the post above. Make sure that you cut your hinge out of the sheet so that you are using the bias (45 degrees to the mesh) of the material on your hinge line. This wastes a bit more material, but this stuff is only $14 for a 12" x 48" sheet, thats almost enough material to do 10 quickees. The width of the hinge is 1 3/8", this gives 1/2" overlay on both the aileron and the wing. I carefully draw the location and size of the hinge I plan to use.
