Familiarize yourself with all the steps BEFORE proceeding.
1. Locate all eight CA hinges and draw a center line length wise
on each as shown.
2. There are four CA hinges per elevator. Hinge slots have all
been precut in the leading edge of the elevator and the trailing
edge of the stabilizer.
3. Starting first with elevator install all four hinges up to the center
line. Glue them in place with thin CA. Do not use CA Kicker
for this part of installation.
4. Line up elevator and stabilizer and slide CA hinges into the
trailing edge of the stabilizer. Make sure that is no hinge gap
between them. Pivot elevator to make sure there is no
hindrance in movement. When satisfied attach elevator and
stabilizer together with thin CA.
Installing elevator control horns is very similar to that of the rudder
horn installation with the exception that it takes two (2) EFP control
horns to build one elevator control horn assembly.
5. Refer to the photo on the right, locate two (2)
13mm x 2mm
slots covered under the purple Ultracote. These are the slots
for the elevator control horn assembly.
6. Use a Xacto blade to puncture the covering material and
expose the slots. Slit the covering to the length of the slot.
7. Now use your Xactor blade and cut into
the balsa core to deepen the slot. Your
goal is to create a deep slot that position
control horn’s pivot hole 1.25” below the
elevator hinge line.
Remember to
maintain the cut perpendicular to the
rudder surface.
Complete one horn at a
time.
8. Trial fit both control horns into the slots
for fitment. You will have to shorten the
EFP horns accordingly. Enlarge width of
the slot (not length) if needed. Align
horns to match illustration on the right.
Do not tag glue them yet.
