The battery hatch can be pressed into place, or can be hinged on one
side with tape. Make sure that you can open the hatch again
later…(Ask me how I know this ;)
2) Tails:
Elevator:
a) Bevel the forward edges of the two moving elevator sections. You will
need to make a connection between the two halves of the elevator so
that you will have full control of the plane. (See Appendix section,
“Tapers & Angled Cuts”) Pre-apply tape to the elevators, and then
press them into place in the horizontal stabilizer.
b) Take the 4 inch piece of wire, and make a “U” shape so that there is a
straight 2 1/8 section in the middle. Flip the horizontal stabilizer upside
down (Slotted side up) and lay it on the table. Mark the location where
the wire should go by pressing the points of the “U” into the beveled
edges of the elevator. Fold back the elevator halves, and using the
wire, or a pin drill a hole 1 inch into the front of the elevator starting at
the mark you made. Repeat for the other side. Connect the elevator
halves by pushing the “U” shaped wire into the holes you just made.
Test fit to make sure the wire is centered in the groove, and glue the
wire into the elevator halves when satisfied.
