HORIZONTAL STABILIZER.
1) Using a ruler and a pen, locate the
centerline of the horizontal stabilizer, at the
trailing edge, and place a mark. Use a tri-
angle and extend this mark, from back to front,
across the top of the stabilizer. Also extend
this mark down the back of the trailing edge
of the stabilizer.
Center line.
6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a
paper towel, remove any excess C/A glue that
may have accumulated on the horizontal
stabilizer or in the elevator hinge area.
8) After both horizontal stabilizer are
securely hinged, firmly grasp the horizontal
stabilizer panel and elevator to make sure the
hinges are securely glued and cannot be pulled
out. Do this by carefully applying medium
pressure, trying to separate the elevator from
the horizontal stabilizer panel. Use caution not
to crush the horizontal stabilizer structure.
7) Repeat this process with the other
horizontal stabilizer panel, securely hinging the
elevator in place.
5) Turn the horizontal stabilizer panel over
and deflect the elevator in the opposite
direction from the opposite side. Apply thin C/
A glue to each hinge, making sure that the C/A
penetrates into both the elevator and horizontal
stabilizer panel.
3) Slide the elevator on the horizontal
stabilizer panel until there is only a slight gap.
The hinge is now centered on the horizontal
stabilizer panel and elevator. Remove the T-
pins and snug the elevator against the
horizontal stabilizer panel. A gap of 1/64” or
less should be maintained between the
horizontal stabilizer panel and elevator.
The hinge is constructed of a special
material that allows the C/A to wick or
penetrate and distribute throughout the
hinge, securely bonding it to the wood
structure of the horizontal stabilizer
panel and elevator.
4)Deflect the elevator and completely
saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The
elevators front surface should lightly contact
the horizontal stabilizer during this procedure.
Ideally, when the hinges are glued in place, a
1/64” gap or less will be maintained throughout
the lengh of the elevator to the horizontal
stabilizer panel hinge line.
