Craig,

FWIW, I'd read about guys adding a 3rd hinge, and I'd had some concerns 
about the distance between the two hinges being long so I added a 5.5" 
hinge midway between the 2 as per plans. When it came to mounting the 
ailerons, I found that my tips sagged about 1/8" and ultimately added a 
2.5" hinge at the tip.

good luck,

Fred
