Hi, I know that some radio control gliders are made with kevlar hinges, i.e. an inch wide strip of kevlar is layed up into the laminate of either the lowre wing surface or upper wing surface and when the skin is cured the epoxy is cleared from the hinge line and it is 'cracked' so it acts as a hinge. Does anyone know if this is used in the homebuilt aircraft scene? If no, what sort of hoops would need to be jumped through? Regards Mark
