Use a bandsaw to cut the surfaces out.
You can attach the canopy using some Monocote trim sheets. Just cut out one inch pieces and tape it down. This way you can take it off later if you need too.
Robarts is probably the best hinge to use. You don't need 8 per surface. I'd use 4 per elevator, 4 on the rudder and 5 per aileron. That is more than enough for this model.
It's a great kit to build... I've built a 24% and a 27%. Smallfly owns the 24% I built and my 27% is almost complete.
Here is my 27%.
