I have used a continuous wire hinge pin to align the hinges while gluing and pinning them in place. If you insert the wire from the outboard ends and put a "U" bend in the end, you can stick the "U" bend in the stab end and secure it with a bit of CA. The wire then can be removed if needed for hinge replacement/repair and the elevator/aileron/rudder/flaps can be removed for transport/repair also.
Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Flight.
