Here's a question for the Forum.

My plans do not show what the fabric is attached to around the hinges and I've heard that there's a method to weld on some 4130 sheet to make a place for the fabric to lay clean over the hinges.

Can anyone post pictures of the tail strap hinges with this prep for fabric, I would appreciate it.
