1. Mix a small amount of 6-minute epoxy. Use
a toothpick to apply the epoxy to the slot in the
elevator and into the hole drilled in the elevator.
2. Apply a thin layer of epoxy on the elevator
control wire at this time as well.
Make sure not to apply epoxy near the threaded
portion of the elevator control wire.
3. Press the elevator control wire into the elevator
half. Remove any excess epoxy using a paper
towel and rubbing alcohol. Use low-tack tape to
hold the wire tightly in position in the elevator.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to install the
remaining elevator control wire. Make sure to
make a left and a right elevator. The threaded
end of the control wire should point down toward
the bottom of elevator.
5. Place a T-pin in the center of two of the elevator
hinges. This will help center them equally in the
stabilizer and elevator when they are installed.
6. Slide the two hinges into the slots that have been
pre-cut into the elevator.
