Scale "hidden" hinging tutorial
 

There is just a little wood block set into the root, and a 90 degree bend in the wire gets captured with a couple of screws. The whole idea is a variant on something Rich Fong wrote up many years ago, maybe on the RC Jet list?

On my old fast Bandit, the elevator pins came in from the tip of the stab, as the elevator torque rod was in the way (very much like how BVM does the Super Bandit now).
Those had nothing holding them in but friction, they never came close to moving in almost 500 flights.
