I get what you mean - slanted when viewed from behind. Just cut a straight slot in the SAME place - it will all hold together ok once you add the CA to the hinge (assume using CA fuzzy hinges).
Yeah I guess the balsa wood might still be able to expand out (if the repair cutting is done
just enough and no slivers of balsa come out in the process). Hangar 9 CA hinges are not as "fuzzy" as Great Planes hinges for example... they are a lot smoother, thinner... sort of like compressed.
That could work... just have to be done very carefully... can't let the old slot line influence the blade tracking of the hobby knife as I go. Have to be very careful not to allow slivers to come loose as I remove the blade tip. It will get a bit "mushy" I guess.
