Thanks guys.
Just to document my procedure for making flap, aileron, rudder and elevator hinges.

I have a gadget with a recess.
I place the flap against the edge
at the hinge point, there are four.

With an etched saw I cut a slot.

I then mark the wing at the cuts.

A strip of ,4mm styrene

I mark the end of the strip
to the slot height

Trim the strip to the Inside
shape of the wing to fit.

Like this.... it's not flat inside.

Slip the shaped piece into the
Flap slot, slide into the wing


One down, three, no 7 to go!
DO NOT glue to flap, just
use the flap to locate. Use
the needle to glue the strip
INSIDEE the wing, top and
bottom, both sides.
