Hinge placement on the rudder

Hi all,
How did you align the hinge on the rudder? All I can see on the plans is it looks like the hinge line is aligned with the left edge when viewed head on.

I decided to do the same thing I did for the ruddervators. The angles between the fixed and moving parts are nominally different but I think it will be ok. That ruler is close to the .055 thickness of the skin plus the tailpost.
