Default Help with Scale Control Surface Hinging
Nick,
I just glue some triangle stock on the back of a flat back trailing edge. Then I also use sandpaper on dowels to finish the final concave shape. The triangle stock reduces the amount of balsa you have to remove.
Of course you then just round off the leading edge of the control surface.

PS: I'll bet we could get Steve to plow the snow off the runway for some winter flying up at ashtabula this weekend. My P-80 has always started clean in this colder weather.
