I would like to know what people prefer for piano hinges on ultralight control surfaces? My plans show a 3/4" hinge and Aircraft Spruce offers formed aluminum or stainless steel in that size. I am leaning toward stainless steel.
What is the preferred method of attachment to wood? I believe that I have seen AN525 screws and some sort of captive nut held in place with an aluminum channel on other aircraft, but I would be open to using rivnuts, rivets, t-nuts, nut plates, or whatever is the best practice.
