Default 33% H9 Cap 232 - problem with the elevator hinges

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this but the 2 inside hinges (the 2 closest to the rudder) don't go in all the way if you use the robart hinges it says to use. They hit the back wing tube and stick out about 1/8th of an inch farther then they should if you want to get a good clean hing line. I'm not sure if this is just something with a few of them or if it's on most of them. I just redid the hinges on half of the elevator because one broke so I just replaced all of them and I noticed that when I glued it back together. I put a picture of it on this post so people could get a little better idea about how far it sticks out. It's not a big problem but it is just something to keep in mind if your elevator hing gaps are too big.

you need to cut the 2 inward hinges short by about 1/8 - 1/4" on both elevators ..
