Default Hinge Pins for Smaller Aircraft

For those of you who like to pin hinges, here is a method for smaller hinges.
Key a toothpick in your rotary tool of choice. Dremel on low speed wont burn your finger. Press the toothpick with your finger against a sanding bar until the desired diameter is reached. Slice to the length needed, and with needlenose/tweezers, dip in glue and install in your pre-drilled pilot holes.
Mini Telemaster was #55 drill size.
