☞
Remove any C/A that may run down the hinge line, using C/A Debonder.
❑
Allow the C/A to dry for about 15 minutes, then pivot the elevator up and down several times to free up the hinges.

After the C/A has fully cured, gently grasp the elevator and stabilizer and pull on the elevator like you are trying
to pull out the hinges. If one or more hinges feels loose, apply more C/A to the hinge(s) and allow it to completely cure.
STEP 3: HINGING THE ELEVATOR
❑
Push two T-pins through the center of six large C/A-style elevator
hinges, as shown.

Important Information About the C/A-Style Hinges Included with Your Big Bee ARF
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
The hinges are not glued into place from the factory. You must glue them into place.
The elevator and rudder are hinged using C/A-style hinges. These hinges are designed to be glued into place using thin C/A. Do
not glue these hinges into place using any other type of glue, such as thick C/A or epoxy.
For flutter-free control surfaces and crisp control response, it is imperative that the hinges be glued in properly. This is achieved
by having a tight hinge gap (no more than 1/32" wide) and using plenty of glue.
❑
Push the elevator and its hinges into the hinge slots in the trailing edge of the stabilizer. The elevator should be pushed firmly up
against the trailing edge, so that there is a minimal hinge gap (no more than 1/32"), and the tips of the elevator should be even with
the tips of the stabilizer.
❑
Slide one hinge into each hinge slot, making sure that you push
each hinge in up to the T-pins. Don't glue the hinges into place yet.
❑
Remove the T-pins from the hinges, and while holding the elevator
tight against the stabilizer, pivot the elevator down about 45º and
apply 5-6 drops of thin C/A to the exposed area of each hinge. Turn
the stabilizer over and repeat for the other side of the hinges.
