) If necessary, cut through any Mylar covering
the precut hinge slots in the trailing edge of the
horizontal stabilizer and the predrilled openings
for the metal elevator joiner and precut hinge
slots in the leading edge of each half of the
elevator.
c
) Push the provided CA hinges into the slots in
the horizontal stabilizer so that half of each hinge is exposed. (
DO NOT GLUE
at this time). Push a
T-pin or a straight pin through each hinge right next to the trailing edge of the horizontal
stabilizer. (NOTE: These pins ensure the CA hinges are centered and set the distance between the
elevator and the horizontal stabilizer.)
d)
Test-fit both halves of the elevator onto the metal joiner and the CA hinges into their slots in
the elevator’s leading edge.
e
) Bend the elevator down and hold it firmly against the horizontal stabilizer, then apply thin CA
adhesive to the metal joiner and to each hinge. Remove the pins, turn the assembly over, and
apply thin CA adhesive to the other side of the metal joiner and to each hinge.
f
) Center your elevator servo.
g
) Use the hardware supplied
with the servo to mount an
approx.
5/8
-inch-long servo arm
and your elevator servo in the
servo tray under the
RIGHT
side of
the horizontal stabilizer as shown
at the right.
h
) Install the supplied elevator horn in the predrilled hole in the right half of the elevator.
i
) Attach an EZ-Link connector to the elevator control horn. Install a pushrod (pictured below on
1/4
-inch squares) between the elevator’s control horn and the EZ-Link connector.
j
) Holding the elevator ‘level’ (at the same angle as
the horizontal stabilizer), snug the EZ-Link
connector onto the elevator pushrod.
