When applying the super-glue, start
at one end of the joint and run to the
other end so that a “bead” of glue gets
drawn along the joint.
Ensure glue is applied along the whole
length, the glue will soak into the balsa
wood almost instantly.

Fugly uses a pair of elevators, linked by
a wire joiner. The construction of both
elevators is the same, and can be either
built at the same time or one after the
other.
Mind your fingers - super-glue will
stick skin in seconds!
Once the glue has set,
use a sanding block to
sand down all the joints
to give a smooth surface
for covering later.
After sanding, use a scalpel and sanding
block to carefully bevel this edge so it
can move freely once hinged.
