•
Measure from the trailing edge of the last rib to the center of the fuselage front to insure that the wing is
positioned properly. Measure everything again and if satisfied that the wing is centered and lined up on
the thrust line epoxy it to the fuselage. If you use slow set epoxy you will have time to correct any
misalignments.
•
Mount the stabilizer into the fuselage and center like you did the wing
•
When you are satisfied that everything is level, centered and on the same centerline glue in place
•
Glue plywood elevator doublers in place both sides of the elevator.
•
Attach Elevator to stabilizer with hinges. Make sure you have free movement with no binding
•
Mount Elevator control horn to elevator with holes over the hinge line
•
Locate Arrow shaft Pushrod, Dowels and 3/32 wire
•
Groove both dowels to accept 3/32 wire and fit inside Arrow shaft
•
Bend end of 3/32 wire at 90 degrees
•
Solder #4 washer to wire at the bend (To keep the washer straight drill a 3/32" hole in a piece of scrap
and insert wire with washer into the hole then solder washer to wire)
•
Clean the wire first so that you will get a good glue joint and epoxy wire to dowel
•
Clean the Bellcrank pushrod wire and epoxy it to a dowel then glue front wire/dowel assembly inside
the pushrod
•
When dry test your joint by attempting to pull apart
•
An easy way to insure that you have the elevator centered is to lock the elevator in neutral before you
epoxy the rear dowel. Place two pieces of hardwood over and under the stabilizer and elevators and
rubber band them in place. This will insure that the elevator is neutral. Use 30 minute or 3 hour epoxy
on the rear dowel and center the Bellcrank. This will make the pushrod slide along the wire until it is
located in the correct position. When you are satisfied that both the Bellcrank and elevator are centered
set everything aside until the epoxy sets.
FIN & RUDDER
•
Glue fin to fuselage
•
Glue rudder to fin with an offset of 1/4" to right (looking from rear of fuselage toward front). Make sure
that the elevator moves freely without binding on the rudder.
