Default Hog-Bipe Hinge Problem

Hey all,
I purchased a Sig Hog-Bipe from someone that is nearly complete (covered) but never flown. Here is the problem:

The elevator was put on with CA hinges without the joining wire between them. This led me to think that maybe it was set-up for dual elevator servos, but no. There are only 2 push-rod housings through the fuselage, one for the elevator and one for the rudder. At first I thought it would be easiest to add a push-rod and make it dual elevators, but I would have to remove the covering to do this.

How hard is it to remove the CA hinges once they are in place? What is the best way to do this? I don't want to mess up the balsa the hinges are glued into, but I don't see any other way to fix this problem.

Oh, and the rudder is already attached so I would have to remove that first to get the elevator off.

Thanks,

David
