I have started my control surfaces bodywork, On the control surfaces, do you build up their level with the surface leading it, or to the level where it meets/pivots.

For instance, I am starting on the Horizontal Stabilizers and Elevators. Where the Elevator, meets the Horizontal Stabilizer and pivots into Horizontal Stabilizer; Should they be the same level. Meaning building up the Elevator with Micro, or should the Elevator be at the level that they meet... About 3/16" lower.

On one hand it seams aerodynamically the build up and leveling will not create as much air flow disturbance, but at the same time adding all that Micro would be extra weight?



Thanks
