Yep I would do that in some conditions, and I think that the instructions for 
this glider call for that type of hinge.  I did the top like this but left 
the bottom open and wrapped to the hinge edge.  It was going good till I went 
to shrink the film tight.   I have a good mind to just put onb a patch and 
call it done.  I just got too much pride I guess.  Wish I had the time to go 
alone with it:-)  I should never have offered to help till my shop was ready. 
 That could take a year or two more:-)
