Im in the process of reworking a Funtana X100 which had a few problems when I received it. At the moment i am attempting to rehinge the tail surfaces. First I tried drilling the elevator out for 1/8" Robart hinge points using the Robart Drill Jig. Well that didnt work out so well. I couldnt get the holes aligned correctly. At this point im guessing that I will need to refill the holes with dowel and glue and start over or find another alternative. Could someone please offer some help on how to get these surfaces hinged.

First off, Im starting to think since the tail surfaces are not airfoiled, they might be too thin to use Robart hinges. At this point I am not at all opposed to using CA hinges again. Im just not seeing how since the old slots are pretty wide and havent left much fresh wood for new CA hinges.

I would appreciate any help offered to get over this hump. Thank you
