Try selecting say an aileron, be sure it is NOT linked to anything and place the pivot where you want it and align to world. Next apply an XFormReset and collapse that parts stack. Then re-rotate the pivot aligning it to your hinge line and relink as necessary.

So you do NOT do an "align to object" but have to manually align the pivot to the desired hinge line?

That is correct. Have a look at this:
