Step 1. Locate the elevator and hinges. Carefully remove the
tape holding the elevators in place. Fit the elevators into the
proper position on the horizontal stabilizer, using the same
hinging techniques learned in Section 1. Check to make sure
there is no binding of movement.
Step 2. With one elevator half properly aligned (left and right),
apply thin CA glue to the hinges on both sides (be sure to
remove the t-pins first). Wipe away any excess CA with CA
debonder and a paper towel.

the epoxy to dry completely cured.
