Note
: You can use a soldering iron instead of a knife.
This will eliminate the chances of cutting into the wood.
8. Apply a thin coat of 30-minute epoxy to the exposed
wood on the top and bottom of the stabilizer. Slide the
stabilizer back into the fuselage and clean up any excess
epoxy using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
9. Use a rotary tool and a 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit
to drill a hole in the center of each hinge slot of both the
stabilizer and elevators. This provides a tunnel for the CA
to wick into, penetrating the hinge.
10. Locate three CA hinges. Place a T-pin in the center
of each hinge.
