Default RE: Best Technique for Hinging Split Flaps?

I used Robart hinges for the split flaps on my TF Spitfire. If I were to do it again, I think that I would strongly consider using a pinned hinge. As for alignment for drilling the hinges, here's something that might work, make some triangle wedges which will give a flat surface perpendicular to the direction you are drilling and then use a drill press with a fence.
