Quickie Q2 Lite, Construction Manual

1. Trim the inboard edges of the elevator slot foam
cores flush with the sides of the fuselage.
2. Slip CS15 over the outboard end of Q2C5A8. the
universal joint into the inboard end ofQ2C5A8. and
then the outboard end of the Q2C5A8 assembly into
the elevator reducer mounted in the inboard end of
the left elevator.
3. Slip C515 over the outboard end of e520. the eS14
over the inboard end of e520. then the universal
joint into the inboard end of e520. and then the
outboard end of the e520 assembly into the
elevator reducer mounted in the in board end of
the right elevator.
4. What follows is a very qualitative fitting
process. Using at least three people. dry fit
C519, C517. e515_ and e514 against the canard
shear web in the appropriate positions (C519
against outboard end of elevator slot foam core.
eS17 at the midspan slot) e515 against the inboard
end of the elevator slot foam core. and e514
against the shear web near BL1 Right), check for
binding. Working slowly.. correct any binding or
clearance problem (1/16" MIN elevator clearance
applies just like on the ailerons) by modifying
C519. e517. e515, and C514. Please. do one thing
at a time. The arm on Q2C5A8 should be at
approximately BLOO.
5. When the complete elevator assembly fits well. and
rotates freely. mix up some 5-MIN with flox and
temporarily mount CS19, CS15. and CS14. (DO NOT
mount the CS17's).
6. Remove all of the pieces except e519. e515, and
CS14. Carefully lay up the BID cloth that
permanently holds CS19, CS15, and CS14 in place.
These parts must be solidly mounted so that they
cannot break off while in service. Use the
"Aileron Installation" section of the MAIN WING
chapter as a guide to the laminations.
7. Once the laminations indicated in step 6 have
cured, you will want to install the e517's
permanently. Install the elevators on the inboard
and outboard pivots; remember to leave at least a
gap of 0.5" inboard for the elevator spacers. (If
you haven1t lost any inches anywhere up to this
point. those spacers will be 1.0" in length).
Install CS17 on QC5M3 against the face of QC5M2.
Make CS17 the meat of a sandwich with a pair of
C518's as the bread, and trial fit the sandwich
against the canard shear web dry through the slot
made previously. When satisfied with the fit. and
sure that the elevator clearance is a minimum of
1/16" top and bottom permanently mount CS17 and
the CS18's with wet flox. It is very important to
