E-flite Sukhoi SU-26m 480 ARF Assembly Manual
Placing a #11 hobby blade between the elevator and
stabilizer to position the two will result in a nice free-
moving hinge for 3D throws without any binding.
Do not use CA accelerator during the hinging
process. The CA must be allowed to soak into the
hinge to provide the best bond. Using accelerator
will not provide enough time for this process.
11. Remove the T-pins and apply thin CA to each
hinge. Make sure the hinge is fully saturated with
CA. Use a paper towel to clean up any excess CA
from the elevator and stabilizer. Make sure to apply
CA to both sides of the hinge.
12. Firmly grasp the stabilizer and gently pull on the
elevator to ensure the hinges are secure and cannot
be pulled apart. Use caution when gripping the
elevator and stabilizer to avoid crushing the structure.
13. Work the elevator up and down several times to
work in the hinges and check for proper movement.
