19. Check the fi t of both elevators at this time. Once checked,
remove the elevators.
20. Use a small strip of the clear packaging material and
slide it between the joiner wire and stabilizer. Make sure
the packing material is cut so it does not obstruct the
hinge slot. Use a small piece of low-tack tape to hold the
packing material in position.
Î
The clear packing material is used
to prevent accidentally gluing the elevators
or joiner wire to the stabilizer.
21. Mix a small amount of 15-minute epoxy. Use a toothpick
to apply epoxy to the joiner wire.
22. Use a toothpick to apply epoxy to the stabilizer where it
contacts the joiner wire.
18. Fit the elevator so the leading edge fi ts tightly against the
trailing edge of the stabilizer.
24. Check the alignment of the elevators in relationship to
the stabilizer at the tips. There should be enough gap
between the balance tab and stabilizer to they can move
freely.
Î
Do not use CA accelerator when gluing hinges. The
CA must be allowed to soak into each hinge to provide the
greatest bond between the hinges and surrounding wood.
25. Flex the elevator slightly, making sure to keep the gap
between the elevator and stabilizer as narrow as possible.
Saturate each of the hinges using thin CA. Apply CA to the
top of the hinges.
26. Flex the elevator slightly, making sure to keep the gap
between the elevator and stabilizer as narrow as possible.
Saturate each of the hinges using thin CA. Apply CA to
the bottom of the hinges. Allow the CA to cure before
proceeding.
27. Gently pull on the fi xed and moving surface to make sure
the hinges are glued securely. If not, reapply thin CA to
any hinges that are found loose.
23. Fit the elevators back into position. Remove the T-pins
and slide the elevators tightly against the stabilizer. Use a
paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any excess
epoxy before it begins to cure.
