Default Offset Hinges for Gear Doors

Hi.
I'm currently working on 2 jet projects, an F-86 Sabre by Gleichauf and an Avonds F-15. From my time in the USA, i brought along quite a bit of RC accessories, including the offset geardoor hinges pictured here:

Sadly, those are unavailable in Germany. I have, however, started on both projects with these hinges and would like to continue with those.

Now to my question: Can anybody out there tell me who manufactures or sells those very hinges? TowerHobbies Catalogs and websearces have not been able to help me yet....

Thanks a lot for any hints!

Robart and Trim (Australia) make offset hinges, for example www.robart.com/Hinge.aspx

Photo below shows a Trim hinge, they have an attachment point on the hinge arm for the servo/air ram.

They look like the same hinges that came with my Avonds F-16. I believe they are made by sonic tronic?

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply.

However, i'd really like to stick with the hinges i'm using now, because i've already glued them in at various parts, and uses their "counterpart" elsewhere..... Thats why i'm looking for these specific hinges, not any kind of door hinge.


*edit* Where can i get the sonic tronic stuff? */edit*
