Sanding to shape. Use some masking
tape to avoid sanding into the elevator

per at first.

Glue the elevator joiner in place using
epoxy on the mounting tab. Take care
not to get glue on the wire.

Glue both HS
-
2b and HS

1b to the low-
er beavertail skin.
34.
On the leading edge of the elevators,
mark and drill the location of the eleva-
tor joiner. To do this, hold the eleva-
tors in place against the horizontal
stabilizer and use a piece of scrap
2.5mm balsa as a spacer between the
tip of the stabilizer and the inside edge
of the elevator counter
-
balance. Mark
the location, then drill in straight with a
1/8”
bit.
29.
Cut a relief groove in the trailing edge of
the horizontal stab to provide clearance
for the elevator control horn. Also cut a
bevel in the slot for the joiner mounting
tab so it seats up against the trailing
edge.
24.
Glue in the elevator joiner supports
and the hinge supports.
25.
Glue in the tip assemblies.
30.
Bevel the trailing edge of the lower bea-
vertail skin as you did with the eleva-
tors.
31.
Glue the upper beavertail skin in place.
35.
Using a hobby knife, cut a notch from
that hole to the inboard end of the
elevator. Cut a radius in that notch to
accommodate the radius in the bend
of the elevator joiner.
