Increase the drill size until you can press the blind
nut into the hole as shown. Use the 3mm screw and
washer to draw the blind nut into the hole part way
and the spikes on the blind nut engage the fiber-
glass.
Install the wheel pants onto the landing gear. Apply
loctite to the 3mm screws and fully install them into
the blind nuts and tighten as shown.

Locate the horizontal stabilizer and elevators. In this
step we will hinge the elevators, and we will hinge all
the other surfaces in the same manner. Note that for
hinging, we will be using 30 minute spoxy for adhe-
sive, and denatured alcohol and a rag for cleanup.
Pull the elevators and stab apart and remove the six
hinges.
First, we must protect the hinges from any glue
entering the moving portion. Place a drop of lubri-
cating oil into the center portion of the hinge where
the axle pin is. It only takes a tiny amount of oil. If
you accidentally get oil on the gluing portion of the
hinges, clean it off with alcohol.
Once all six hinges have been lubricated, mix up a
batch of 30 minute epoxy and place several large
drops of glue into each of the hinge holes in the
stabilizer. Press the hinges into the holes, and turn
them so that they flex in the correct direction.
When you press the hinges into the hinge holes,
some epoxy may squeeze out. Use alcohol on a rag
to clean up any excess epoxy.
Put several large drops of epoxy in the hinge holes
in the elevator and fit the elevator and stabilizer to-
gether. Clean up any excess epoxy which squeezes
out.
Once you have the parts fit together, make sure the
elevator can flex up and down at least 45 degrees.
There should be a small gap, about 1/32” (1mm)
between the stabilizer and elevators. Allow the ep-
oxy to cure.
