Several years ago I had to replace a wing on my Big Stik 40. I bought
a foam wing and partially sheeted it. I didn't feel good about making
slots in the small trailing edge balsa for hinges so I made hinges
from the Monokote that I was using for covering. The wing was white
on top and red on the bottom, so I made each hinge multicolored
Monokote. When I was done I had almost no open area between the
aileron and the wing (because I made a lot of hinges). I have been
flying it for quite some time and think it is a great hinge job.
There is no play in the aileron yet it swings freely.
