Now I need to mount my hinges.I remember someone split each hinges into thirds and mounted the hinge on both sides of the center line, on the trailing edge tube, rather than having the hinge mounted all on one side. This seems like a good idea to me, but I cannot find the "posts" in the Archives. I would be grateful if anyone has thoughts on the pro's or con's of this approach. Thanks, Nick Cassara Palmer, Alaska N607AK Kolbra #1 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:51:49 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: mounting hinges From: "Ralph B" "nickc(at)mtaonline.net" > Hello Kolbers, > > I have built my wings, horizontal stabilizers, and vertical stabilizer.

I have no experience to determine if it is a good idea or not. hope this is what you are looking for. boyd young From: Nick Cassara Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2013 11:36 AM Subject: Kolb-List: mounting hinges Hello Kolbers, I have built my wings, horizontal stabilizers, and vertical stabilizer.
