5a. Gather the elevator assembly, 30 minute
epoxy, mixing stick, and mixing cup as shown
below.
6. Prep all hinges for installation by applying Vase-
line petroleum jelly or light oil to the hinge joint.
This ensures no epoxy gets into the hinge during
assembly.
7. Install hinge in the predrilled hole as shown. The
knuckle portion of the hinge should be embed-
ded into the elevator as shown.
8. Trial fit all hinges prior to gluing as shown be-
low.
5b. Test fit the elevator to the horizontal fin as
shown. Ensure that there is enough travel to
allow access to the rear mounting bolt of the
water rudder.
Before gluing hinges insure that there is
enough elevator deflection to access the
rear mounting bolt of the water rudders.
