working on a plane design and came across a question. I noticed that on a lot of these builds the cut out on the elevator is super close to the hinge and usually very weak. On the one I'm designing I just moved the rudder back a little bit and made the cut out a bit bigger and now the elevator is nice and strong with no need for a support. But the hinge in the elevator is a bit further back then the hinge in the elevator. So my question is, Is there any reason the hinge in the rudder has to line up with the hinge in the elevator?
