I just want to say that I've been following the comments that have been made on this site for only a couple of weeks. This site reminds me so much of a government think-tank. You good folks come up with some VERY, VERY interesting questions and comments, like the one below made by Ameet. If you think about it, this is where "cutting-edge technology" starts - by interested, dedicated people, like yourselves asking questions, making comments, trying new things, and coming up with new solutions. I belong to quite a few aviation discussion groups, but this one runs circles around the rest. I'm hyped! Keep up the fantastic work!

Load is not just a function of airspeed it also depends on size of the control surface (among other things) 200 mph of an small R/C plane is not the same load on the control surface as 200mph for a full scale airplane. As I mentioned earlier, R/C gliders use "KEVLAR" for this purpose. I don't know the theory behind it nor the numbers to justify the fatigue life. But there must be some logic to it and might be a good start for someone to investigate such a hinge method.
