Fuselage — Elevator

Installa on of Elevator Control Hinges
11) Test fit all hinges into elevator and horizontal stabilizer to make sure alignment and posi on is correct.
Also make sure there is enough clearance between the elevator joiner so as not to rub on the fuselage.
Should there be clearance issues, you may touch it up with a Dremel and a sanding drum
12) Clean the points with denatured alcohol.
13) Beginning with the control surface side, apply 15 minute epoxy onto the ps of each hinge and carefully
insert into the hole making sure epoxy does not squeeze out, geHng into the hinge.
14) Once cured, now we can a)ach the control surface to the horizontal stabilizer. Begin by star ng on one
side, puHng epoxy into the groove which the joiner will be. Place epoxy on the ps of the hinge points
and carefully begin inser ng them into the horizontal stabilizer. As you con nue to press them into
place, place the joiner into the slot, making sure the flat end goes into the control surface and the angled
end remains exposed. Now onto the other side. Place epoxy into the slot of the other elevator half and
on hinge points and install, making sure epoxy does not get into the hinge itself. A couple of pieces of
masking tape across the control surface and stabilizer will hold it in place un l epoxy cures.
Installa on of Rudder Control Hinges
The installa on of the rudder follows the same steps as the installa on of that of the elevator control surfac-
es.
Tip
: A drop of light machine oil on the hinge itself will keep the epoxy from s cking to it
