Hello, I'm wondering where you all source stainless steel hinges for the rudder/elevator/etc? I'm finding the standard folded over stainless steel hinges, but I can't seem to locate the solid style.
Thank you!

I contacted them, and all their hinges are rolled. I'm pretty sure we need solid knuckle hinges.

My tail kit came with a rolled steel hinge.

As far as I can tell the plans show Rolled steel hinges for elevator/Rudder/main landing gear with 3/16 pin. The extruded hinge MS20001-8 is shown on Mcmaster carr page with 3/16 pin and 2024 alum construction.Its 100$/foot.The other MS hinges shown are with 3/32 pin.Probably good for the tail hinges but not for Landing gear.
