I like 3M clear Book Tape. I find it at our Teachers supply store, not
in hard wear type stores. I buy it in a wide roll, then cut it to width
with a straight edge and blade. I the cut short pieces and make what I
call reverse Z type hinges. I apply 3 or 4 pairs of them on a control
surface and

.8 oz. fabric works well. We used it on the rudder hinge for a Bubble
Dancer. Neck the fabric, roll in some laminating epoxy, and tamp it with
paper towels to remove excess epoxy. Then
I figured someone would ask. From 3M Book Tape cut two pieces 1/2 wide
by 1and1/8 long. Assemble them end to end sticky side toward each other
overlapping the ends about 1/4.This depends on the thickness of the
control surface at the hinge line. Now make another one identical to the
first one.
The Spectra which is a polyethylene fiber can also be used as a hinge material and apparently some are using it. However, being the world's strongest fibers (10 times stronger than steel and up to 40% stronger than Kevlar) is also very expensive. The point I tried to make is that most people are

it's accomplished with vac bagging or in molded ships.
Thanks in advance...Jack (aka Gasbag)

What's a good hinge to use for torque-rod ailerons? I've been using just
tape, but I hate it: it's a bitch to get on correctly, it's ugly, etc.
The plans called for regular nylon hinges, but I didn't like that either.
Maybe I'm being too picky, but if anyone has a suggestion I'd appreciate
and could
send it to you.
See Ya,

Managed to tear both aileron hinges off my Mantis. Surprising since they
were kevlar hinged and I didnt really do anything that I thought was worthy
of tearing them like they did. I have been using some hinge tape bought
from one of the vendors at SWC,
cant remember who it was. But the stuff
