Could you braze the aluminum hinge to the steel tail post?

Terry, adding the tab (say .090 thick steel) to the tail post would make
the hinge stick out .090 and would not line up with the two upper hinges.
I still think brazing would be the best answer. Chuck

Terry, what ever you do, don't just think of the lower hinge. Make sure
the three hinges line up. C

Terry,
I agree with everyone else, you need to weld A tab to your stab.
That said I'm not near a computer and I can't send you a good drawing file but
if you will shoot me the diameter of the tubing, I'll model it up in the solid
Works and send you both an isometric and a PDF of what the 1930s style tab would
look like.

Jerry,
I should have been more clear. Attached is a drawing that might make more c
lear the question. How do I attach the hinge to the tab. If I drill through
the tail post, won't I be weakening it? Do I beef up the tail post. Maybe
my drawing with the skills of a 7 year old might help explain.
Thanks for your input.

Terry; I knew you were building a steel tube fuselage but I sent out the full set
anyway so you'd have an extra casting to practice on
Keri-Ann and the others nailed it. A tab it is! I think if it were me, I would
build the vertical stab and rudder and install the top two aluminum hinge pairs
plus the rudder half of the lower one, then temporarily install them and drop
a piece of 3/16" rod down through all the hinges to determine where your weld
tab needs to be. But you've already figured that out, I'm sure.

Oscar,
That is pretty much how I envisioned doing that part of the build. So thanks for
validating my plan of attack. And I can't wait to prep the hinges. They are
going to look great!
Thanks for keeping the Kapler/Zuniga hinges available.
