Use a sharp knife to cut slots in the tailplane and elevator for the patent hinges (54),
in the positions marked on the plan. Cut each hinge in half as shown, push them half-
way into the slots on each side, and attach the elevator to the tailplane. Check that
the elevator deflects freely up and down.
The fin and rudder are assembled in the same manner as the tailplane; the panels
consist of the laser-cut balsa parts (56 - 70). When the glue has set hard, sand these
parts to the shape and profile shown on the plan. Cut slots for the patent hinges as
described for the elevator, push them half-way into each panel, and check that the
rudder deflects freely to both sides of centre.
Trial-fit the fin in the slot in the fuselage (71), and file out the slot if necessary.
Drill 3.2 mm Ø holes in the tailplane for the retaining screws; see picture and plan.
