Paul,
What would be gained by using the aluminum flex plate instead of a hinge?
Cheaper? The hinge on the Zenith is part of the skin and simplifies the
structure. It seems that on the KR there would be a lot of design and
development time spent with little or no gain except in the "that's really
neat" department. There is information on this subject in the archives.
