What kind of spacing do you guys use?

Fuse wt is 776g as it sits right now. Doesn't have the top line foam attached yet.
Hi rm,

I'm away at work at the moment and won't be home untill Wednesday. I can't remember the spacing dimensions, but I use 5 CA hinges on each aileron, 4 on each elevator and 4 or 5 on rudder. I've never had a problem with that.

CA hinges make it easy as they are assembled and aligned dry before gluing.
