Step 9
Drill a 1/16" (1.5mm) hole in the center of each
hinge slot in both the stabilizer and elevator. Locate
the three CA hinges, and place T-pins in the center
as shown. Install the hinges in the elevator.

Step 10
Test fit the elevator to the stabilizer. Make sure the
elevator rests tight against the stabilizer. Align the
tip of the elevator to the tip of the stabilizer. Check to
make sure the elevator moves freely. Apply thin CA
to both sides of the hinge. Make sure to saturate the
hinge, and don’t use accelerator. Use a paper towel and
CA debonder/remover to clean up any excess CA.

Step 11
Once the CA has fully cured, give the elevator and
stabilizer the tug test to make sure the hinges are well
glued. Flex the elevator a few times to break in the hinges.
