Default Gluing hinges question

I am building the H9 XT 40 plane and I have a question about gluing the hinges on the ailerons/wings. It say to install the hinges using a T-pin to make sure it’s halfway in the slot and then remove the pins and while holding the aileron and wing together, then apply CA to both the top and bottom joint areas. Would it be better to first glue the wing hinges in place while holding the wing upright “to let the CA wick into the slot and hinge. Let dry, then put the aileron on and glue them on while holding the aeilon upright. I just think that more CA will wick into the slot my way then just CA’ing the hinges all at once.

Thanks in advance--------------Stashu
