Me too.  Take a look at the link below, and you will see, near the end of
the thumbnail pictures, some of the hinge installation.  Sorry that I did
not take any of the inside, behind  the spars, to show the nut plates
attached with rivits.  The rivits do nothing but keep the plate from turning
  All the stress is on the nutplate and the hinge.  I guess that I must have
done something wrong, cause it seens too simple and I thought that it was
the way everybody did it.

I am a bit confused on the router bit to make a socket for the nut
plates. It sounds by your description that you cut a socket and floxed
in the nut plates on the outside, i.e. the aft side on the wing and the
forward side on the aileron, instead of putting them on the inside where
the screw goes through the wood spar and then into the nut plate. I say
this because I can see no reason to cut out a socket for the nut plate.
  Am I just confused by your description?
