Gary,

Just some thinking _ _ _

I see that the hinge line on the full size is a few inches behind the gap.

It would be nice to imitate the same on the model.

The rear spar of the stab is quite thin and does not offer much gluing area for the hinges.

I would consider gluing some small blocks centered with the ribs alignment and use some Robarts hinges. Doing the same with the elevator.

Seems to me it is not that much extra work.

Hinges behind the gap need a longer radius at the leading edge of the elevators and the gap could then become negligeable. The curvature at the elevator leading edge would have a center at the hinge line.

As I said above _ _ _ just doing some thinking.

I am not telling you what to do ..... just what I would consider.
