Important
: Allow the CA to cure WITHOUT using CA
accelerator. This is necessary to allow the CA to soak
into the hinge, creating the best bond between the hinge
and surrounding wood.
13. Once the CA and epoxy has cured, check that all the
hinges are secure by gently trying to separate the elevator
from the stabilizer. If any hinges are loose, re-apply CA to the
loose hinges.
14. Break in the hinges by working the elevator up and
down a number of times.
15. Position the stabilizer in the stabilizer hatch cover.
Insert the torque rod through the slot, then rotate the
stabilizer and fit it into position.
16. Lightly sand the stabilizer tubes using medium grit
sandpaper. Use rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to remove
any oil or debris from the stabilizer tubes. Slide the tubes
through the stabilizer hatch. The shorter tube is near the
leading edge.
