Yeah, except for those places such as the wings where I added the ailerons, I was trying to stick with the kit materials as much as possible. I think I have enough elevator deflection available to be able to insert the wire joiner without cutting the hinges. If not, then I will just rehinge. I used CA hinges and there is plenty of space to do new hinges.
