Next
step
is
to
setup
and
install
the
elevator
supports
and
add
the
rudder
support
tube
and
the
tailskid.
The
next
thing
is
to
attach
the
brass
tube
at
the
rear
of
the
fuselage
that
serves
as
the
elevator
pivot
tube
and
rudder
pivot
tube
mount.
The
design
follows
the
more
standard
EIII
setup
in
that
the
elevator
horns
are
located
close
in
to
the
center
of
the
pivot
tube
where
the
EIII
I
am
using
as
a
model
(it
is
a
reproduction)
differs
in
that
the
horns
are
part
of
each
elevator.
I
have
looked
at
a
bunch
of
pictures
of
EIII
ʹ
s
and
this
is
the
only
one
I
have
seen
like
this.
In
any
case,
the
original
setup
calls
for
the
two
elevator
halves
to
be
glued
to
a
piece
of
3/16
ʺ
brass
tube
(after
making
sure
they
are
flat
and
level
to
each
other).
The
elevator
horns
are
epoxied
to
the
tube
at
their
appropriate
location.
Prior
to
all
this
the
three
sections
of
elevator
pivot
support
tube
(7/32
ʺ
brass
tube)
are
placed
on
the
3/16
ʺ
brass
tube,
the
large
one
between
the
elevator
horns
and
the
two
smaller
ones
outboard
of
the
horns.
You
then
attach
the
wings
and
place
the
main
support
pivot
tube
against
the
rear
of
the
fuselage,
line
it
up
in
relation
to
the
wings
and
tack
glue
in
place.
There
are
several
holes
in
the
rear
top
and
bottom
fuselage
pieces
that
you
run
Kevlar
thread
thru
to
lace
the
whole
shebang
together.
Where
satisfied,
and
all
the
angles
and
dangles
are
checked,
the
three
pieces
of
brass
support
pivot
tube
are
epoxied
in
place.
Since
the
plane
I
am
modeling
has
the
horns
on
the
elevators,
one
could
use
a
single
piece
of
tubing
for
the
support.
I
instead
decided
to
make
my
elevators
removable.
During
construction
of
the
elevator
halves
I
glued
in
a
piece
of
3/16
ʺ
brass
tube
which
will
have
a
section
of
5/32
ʺ
brass
tube
inserted
in
it
to
act
as
the
pivot.
It
will
extend
out
of
the
elevator
half
and
go
through
the
short
section
of
support
pivot
tube
on
the
outside
edge
of
the
read
fuselage
and
extend
half
way
into
the
large
pivot
support
tube
(these
three
pieces
are
3/16
ʺ
brass
tube).
The
larger
piece
is
centered
on
the
rear
of
the
fuselage
and
the
two
smaller
pieces
are
separated
from
the
end
of
the
main
piece
by
the
thickness
of
a
5/32
ʺ
wheel
collar.
