Do you dry install both sides and then glue? Aileron and wing, elevator and stab etc.?

The glue should wet out the surface, add thin CA until it stops wicking into the material. Use a tissue or swab to clean any excess CA.  Do the same side of all hinges.  Clean any CA off the parts, turn over, and repeat on the other side of the hinges.
