Default hinge sealing

I'm busy uploading that page again. I made a couple changes to it. Nothing drastic. Just wanted to illustrate what I meant by crooked flat hinges.

Also, I took out that section at the end about My Stik 30. I did have a rudder hinge break. But the hinges are 1/2A hinge points - way too small for that size plane and I crank it all over the sky. The rudder moves 45 degrees in each direction and I love to spin that plane. The fin and rudder aren't thick enough for 1/8" hinge points, so I've put flat hinges in it now. Even so, I really prefer hinge points and I can't blame them for failing. It was my fault for using too small of a size.
