Not that anyone asked for my opinion, but...

Back in the 70's there were a couple of guys in our club who loved hinge points...but they found that the horny hinge points can rotate if the pushrod has any significant amount of angularity. Also, the push / pull load is not distributed over a very large area, and if they're going into foam, the holes get wallowed out.
Guess they still use the regular hinge points, just use more of them than a regular hinge? They use control horns with a relatively large mt. plate though.
