INSTALLING THE ELEVATOR
❏
1. Put the fleece hinges into the slots of the elevator flaps.
Mark the middle of the hinges with a permanent marker. Drill
1.5mm holes into the marked spots of the flaps. These holes
are adhesion channels for the thin liquid CA glue. With this
system, you get a bigger bonding area than without the hole.
It is very important, that the hinges are well glued..
❏
2. Repeat the same procedure for the elevator.
❏
3. Put the elevator into the fuselage and look for a correct
alignment according to the center line of the fuselage.
❏
4. Check the correct placement, measuring the distance
from elevator to a center point of the fuselage on both sides.
Now mark the fuselages shape on the elevator on both sides.
❏
5. Take out the elevator and remove the covering film
between the lines. Use a sharp hobby knife to cut the film. Be
careful, that you do not cut into the wood of the elevator.
❏
6. Put the elevator again into the fuselage and check the
correct alignment.
❏
7. Use thin CA glue with a needle applicator, to glue the
elevator into the fuselage. Be careful, that no CA glue is
dropping on the film. You never can remove CA spots from
the covering film.
