❑
We suggest applying a strip of clear plastic tape over
the top of each elevator hinge line. This will strengthen the
elevator hinge lines, especially over time.
❑
Using a modeling knife, trim the loose ends of the plastic
tape even with the ends of the stabilizer panels.
❑
To install the prebent elevator joiner wire, first deflect one
elevator up at a 90º angle, then slide one end of the elevator
joiner wire through the front of the nylon bushing, as shown.
IMPORTANT
If you didn't reinforce the elevator hinge line
like we suggested in the previous procedure, the hinge line
will probably break when you bend it up at 90 degrees.
❑
Repeat the same procedure to install the elevator/stabilizer
panel over the opposite end of the elevator joiner wire.
Step 2: Joining the Stabilizer Panels
❑
Glue the two stabilizer panels together using a generous
amount of 5 minute epoxy. Remove any excess epoxy
before it sets up using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol,
and hold the stabilizer panels firmly in place and
flat
until the
epoxy sets up.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that you don't get any epoxy on
the elevator joiner wire. It's also important that the stabilizer
panels be perfectly flat when you join them.
