++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The number of elevator hinges per plans is adequate. Add a third hinge to the rudder. Can't advise on brand of rod end bearings but get reasonable quality with reasonable price. If your wing is not yet built, go with the new airfoil. Go with "Dr.Dean" hinges on elevator and rudder or ,if using plans aluminum hinges, build in a thin nylon bushing before they are installed. Larry Flesner
