Default RE: Covering hinge lines?

Very true. The other problem in 3D planes is that they are designed for slow flight but have large engines that are often capable of level flight at speeds beyond the flutter speed of the huge, lightly built control surfaces. So if the pilot doesn't practice good throttle control the plane is a flutter time bomb waiting to happen.
