Default Help with zn hydaway

Hello all,
I recieved my Hydaway last week and want to start building.
the plane came with the wings and stab finished(ready to cover)
This is my first kit of this kind and need some help.
I have one problem there is no refference line on the fuse for the stab location I e-mailed ZN and JP told me it should be 57mm from the bottom of the fuse I guess the guy knows what he is talking about, but if anny of you have this plane could you please confirm this.
Also what would be my refference to messure wing and stab incidence, Would it be from the center of the nose to 57mm from the bottom at the back of the fuse.
Also I did not get a stab tube socket for the fuse in the kit but it shows one on the plans, I also mailed him about this and he told me that they don't use a socket in the fuse.
I'm no pro but it doesn't seem right to me. If I don't use a socket how would I secure the tube.
And one last question, I have carbon fiber wing and stab tubes, how do I secure wings and stab. Can I just drill an tap carbon fiber
maybe glue a dowel inside the tube to get more thread?
Sorry for the long post, maybe some of the questions are stupid but as I said this is the first time I'm building a kit like this.

Thanks,

John
