I built my Kolb Slingshot with split hinges on the rudder. That is they
were cut to intertwine, a gruesome task. But, it stabilizes the
rudder to center point and greatly enhances the strength of the hinges.
They work and look great. On the ailerons though, you
have to remember the initial way to install the hinges creates aileron
differential and that is important. It allows the ail to go up
much more than travel down and that reduces drag during a banking turn thus
eliminating or almost eliminating the need to use
the rudder during a turn. At least, that is way mine works. I believe it
is called adverse yaw. During the six or more years
I flew my firestar I had to adjust the rudder hinges many times for they
would bend in one direction and offset the rudder.
The X hinge system fixed this and I now do not worry about the pressure and
speeds I now fly. I believe the information is
in the archieves but if not, I may be able to get the infor and pattern.
Very glad I did it. my two cents.
