A question:

Why do so few (or any?) people use tube and wire hinges? They are:

The simplest

The free-est

The strongest

The easyest

The closest fitting

I was thinking this while glueing in the horrioble little plastic hinges on my ARF Nobler. This is the first time I've ever used anything but tube and wire since I read an article by Dave Platt in early '58.

So why do they seem out of favour? I am puzzled
