Yup, pretty slick. We're using the same hinge on Steve's airplane, but
with the Camloc latch from B&B.

Also, I'd not mix carbon and fiberglass as shown. With the different
materials on the different sides, and the different sides exposed to
drastically different air temperatures, I'd expect to see it change
shape unpredictably in service. Probably not enough to make a
difference, but I think I just wouldn't even go there.

Thanks, Bob K.
