I imagine a vertical hinge for this design with its 10° turning play. I imagine though that this 10° play will result in the flap being delayed in closing and returning to its zero position so some sort of slight spring tension would be needed in both directions with perhaps a detent [ballbearing and spring] on the zero position to guarantee the accuracy of the zero position... does my method sound too complicated?
