A good testimonial for Carbinge graphite hinges in place of aluminum.  Carbinge won't display any of the adverse characteristics described below.

John,

 

1.  I started building my Lancair alone, in my garage, before anybody invented anything - including Car-binge and the internet as we know it today.

 

2.  I like shiny metal things - I polished my hinges with a home brew compound before I knew about commercial rouges.  You can't polish Car-bon.

 

3.  The electrical interaction betwixt SS, steel and aluminum is benign here in the salt-air free midwest. Car-bon and steel/SS?  You can't glue both halves of the hinge on - Something gets screwed.

 

This is a shameless defensive response.
