We suggest using 30 minute epoxy for the elevator
jointer plate and hinges.
(Polyurethane glue,
Gorilla Glue
may be used for the
hinges. Add a drop of water to each hinge hole, then a
few drops off using polyurethane glue. This type of glue
is activated with moisture.)
•
Begin the final assembly of the elevator by adding
epoxy to the horizontal stabilizer hinge holes then
insert the hinge pins. Use a pin to push the glue into
the holes.
•
Add epoxy to the joiner slot and hinge holes of one
half of the elevator then partially slide it onto the
hinges.
•
Insert the jointer plate through the fuselage then into
the elevator half.
•
Add epoxy to the joiner slot and to the hinge holes of
the second elevator half then slide it onto the hinges
and jointer plate.
•
Push both elevator halves into position and wipe
away any epoxy that has squeezed out.
•
Move the elevator up and down to make sure it has
full travel.
It won’t hurt to apply additional
petroleum jelly to the hinges.
•
Tightly tape the gap between the horizontal stabilizer
and the elevator counter balance while the glue and
epoxy dry.
You may also use wide sticks and clamps to hold the
halves aligned.
Carefully remove
“
masking
”
tape at the jointer plant
before the epoxy fully sets. But do not remove the tape
at the stabilizer and elevator counter balance until epoxy
is fully cured.
Attach a 24” servo extension onto the elevator servo lead
and use shrink wrap or a safety clip to secure the
connection.
Install the servo with the spline shaft towards the front of
the airplane. Pre-drill for servo mounting screws using a
1/16” drill.
Install the servo with the wood screws that
came with your servos. Remove the screws and servo.
Apply a drop of thin CA glue into each screw hole. This
will harden the wood around the screws and provide a
more secure installation. (Allow the CA glue to dry before
reinstalling the servo.)
