Default RE: Offset flap hinge position

OK, thanks guys for all the input!! I worked yesterday night into putting some balsa blocks like Craig suggests into the wing. My biggest concern was if I needed to get the pivot point in the hinge line or a bit backwards. In fact in the manual they suggest for the aileron hinge point (Robart type) to be recessed 1/4" into the leading edge of the aileron, should I use this as a reference line and get the same for the flaps? I will look at those links you all provided. Again thanks!!

Those Yellow flaps hinges look better than mine... I like the fact you won't get exposed linkages!!
