Yes I did have to make a notch in the tail post for the stab to fit in place. The hinges have probably either slid too far back into the aileron
or wing as on shaking my wing I did here a couple rattling inside. One way to see if they have slid back into the slots is to take your hobby
knife and slide it into the very edge of one of the slots and slowly push it down and then move it diagonaly across the slot to see if the hinge
is in the slot, if it is, have a t-pin or dressmakers pin handy to sick it with as it emerges from the slot. If no hinge is there then it's off to the
nearest hobby shop to buy some Dubro or Sig CA hinges.

Have you tried to insert the wing tube through the fuselage as of yet? Mine was so tight it wouldn't go, so I had to sand it down with some
coarse emery cloth then polish it with a finner grit, didn't take me to long but I have a lathe available to speed up the process.

You might read this thread through a couple times to see what mods I have done to my Velox, as you will have to do simular mods to yours
as well for longivity of the aircraft, like seal all of the holes in the firewall so that fuel can't get blown back into the radio compartment.

Good luck and take your time, it will be worth the extra effort. BTW I haven't had the opportunity to maiden mine as of yet, this lousy
weather has made our flying field un-useable till probably some time in late January or early February, so it is hanging in the shop ready
to go when the occassion arrives to get out to fly.
