The elevator joiner wire must be fl ush with the leading
edge of the elevator as shown.
9.
Check to make sure the elevator halves are in alignment
with each other.
10.
If the elevators are not in alignment, use pliers to bend
the joiner wire slightly to bring the halves into alignment.
Î
Poorly aligned elevators will cause problems
with trimming your model in flight.
11.
Continue the assembly of your model once joiner wire has
been correctly checked and adjusted.
12.
Remove the elevators from the joiner wire. Fit the joiner
wire into the fuselage, noting the position from the
previous step. This will guarantee the joiner is placed
correctly so the elevators will be oriented as prepared in
the previous step.
Î
The slot for the elevator horn will be located on the
bottom right of the fuselage when the elevators are installed.
13.
Slide the stabilizer partially into the fuselage so the
wood at the center is exposed. Mix 1/2 ounce (15ml) of
30-minute epoxy. Use an epoxy brush to apply the epoxy
to the exposed wood on the top of the stabilizer.
14.
Carefully turn the model over and apply epoxy to the
exposed wood on the bottom of the stabilizer. Slide the
stabilizer back into position.
Î
Use care not to get epoxy on the elevator joiner wire.
15.
Once the alignment of the stabilizer has been verifi ed, use
a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any excess
epoxy from the fuselage and stabilizer. Allow the epoxy to
fully cure before proceeding.
Î
If you find epoxy on the joiner wire, use the paper
towel and isopropyl alcohol to clean the joiner.
16.
Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill a
hole in the center of each hinge slot to allow the CA to
wick into the hinge. Drill holes in both the elevators and
stabilizer surfaces at this time. Place a T-pin in the center
of each hinge along side the slot in the hinge. This will
help center the hinge when it is placed in the elevators.
Slide the hinges into position with the T-pin resting
against the edge of the control surface.
17.
Fit the elevator into position on the stabilizer. Guide the
joiner wire and hinges into position.
