Wild Stick 120

Align holes over
hinge line
2. Remove the elevators from the
stab and make sure all the hinges are
centered in the slots. To make sure
the hinges are centered, use a
straight pin in the middle of the hinge
when pushing the elevator onto the
stab.

3. Flex the elevator to the full
extent of its travel in one direction.
make sure the hinge line stays closed
as close as possible. Apply a drop of
thin CA to each hinge. Turn the stab
over, flex the elevator to the full
travel in the other direction and
apply glue to each hinge. go back and
apply another drop of glue to each
hinge.

4. Set the stab in place in the slot on
the rear of the fuselage. 

5. measure the stab to make sure it is
centered in the fuselage.  Make sure
the slot for the fin in centered on
the fuselage. Move the stab until
dimension X-X are the same. This will
have the stab square to the fuselage.

6. When you have the stab square to
the fuselage, make a mark along the
side of the fuselage on the bottom of
the stab.
