The hinges are where the kit called for them. I have to assume they know what they are doing, hopefully.
You betcha Anthony. But there is still plenty to do to get there.

The application of the perimeter tape has begun. I have attached the tape at the hinge side. The elevators and rudder will get the perimeter before folding the hinge side over, vise versa on the stab. This will make the overlap appropriate to the wind flow.

The rest of the perimeter tape has been applied. I will give it an hour to dry well enough to hit the perimeter tape with the trim iron to shrink it around the radius.

Pinkin tape has been applied. I will give it 2 hours to dry out, then can iron it out and move on to the wings.
