I am ready to start riviting the elevator together. Is it OK to rivet the hinge to both the elevator and HS at this time? The plans don't specify. Thanks, Jeff Hudson.

Jeff,
Don't get in a hurry. The functional aspect of your elevator is way
more important than just putting them together. Make sure your
elevator is complete and fits within the stabilizer correctly first.
Take the time to see that your hinge is not dragging on an opposing
piece and fit it with an appropriate gap so you don't drag paint off
the hinge when you finish it. Do see to the trim mechanism in your
elevator if you intend to have one. Would suggest that you make the
elevator hinge the last connection you disassemble so that you can
ultimately paint the elevator separately. Much easier if the stab and
elevator disassemble from the plane separately. And by all means, do
secure the hinge one side at a time to be sure it doesn't get out of
line. A binding elevator can be a serious problem in flight.
