Default RE: Avistar assembly question

Another couple of assembly questions:

Question on the aileron hinges. They are these octagonal fiber pieces with a slice through the long way.

1st, the image in the instructions (pg 7) show the hinges going in with the slice perpendicular to the wing, not parallel. Doesn't it make sense that the slice should be going horizontally so that the hinge can flex with the aileron movement?

Also, it says to wick 4 drops of CA into the hinges when installing them, but it also says there should be no gap between the ailerons and wings. If I am using CA in the hinges, won't that glue the aileron to the wing?

Thanks in advance.
