11) Remove the elevator and hinges from the horizontal stabilizer,
and set them aside for now. Test fit the stabilizer on the
fuselage. Notice that the covering has been removed from both
the fuselage and horizontal stabilizer where they will mate
together. Eyeball the location of the horizontal stabilizer and pin
it temporarily in place.
❑
12) Bolt the wing in place on the fuselage with the Nylon Wing Bolts
provided. Carefully check the alignment of the stabilizer to the
wing.
a)
First view the model from directly in front. Check to see if the
stabilizer is level with the wing. You should find it to be very
close. If necessary use a sanding block to fine tune the
stabilizer platform to level the stabilizer to the wing.
b)
Next use a tape measure to measure the distance from each
stab tip to the back edge of the wing – the distance should be
equal on both sides. Adjust if necessary.
c)
Use a fine line felt tip pen to mark some guide lines on
the stabilizer that will make it easy for you to realign the stab
after the glue is applied in the next step. You can now
remove the pins and take the stabilizer off the fuselage for
gluing.
❑
13) The horizontal stabilizer can now be glued permanently onto the
rear of the fuselage. We suggest using slow curing epoxy glue for
this job to allow time to position the stab accurately and make
any final adjustments that might be needed. Apply the glue to
both sides and reset the stab in place. Use pins to hold it in place.
Re-check the alignment. Wipe away any excess epoxy with
rubbing alcohol and a soft paper towel. Allow the glue to cure
completely.
❑
14) Pull the Fin and Rudder apart set the rudder and hinges aside for
now. Test fit the fin in place on top of the stabilizer. Check to see
that the fin sits flush and perpendicular to the stabilizer. When
satisfied with the fit, glue the fin in place using slow curing epoxy
glue. Apply a coat of epoxy to the bottom of the fin and to the
exposed wood on the stab. With the fin in place, sight the model
from the front to make sure the fin is absolutely 90 degrees
upright to the stab. If needed, use masking tape to hold it in
alignment until the epoxy cures. Wipe off any excess glue with
rubbing alcohol and a soft paper towel. Let the epoxy completely
cure.
❑
15) Hinge the elevator to the stabilizer, using the same techniques
you did for the ailerons back in Step 2 of this manual. Let the
hinges dry before flexing them.
❑
16) Now it's time to install the rudder.
a)
Carefully insert the front side of the three CA Hinges into the
hinge slots in the back of the fin, using the same techniques
you did for the aileron s back in Step 2 of this manual. When
you’ve got the rudder all the way on, double check that the
top of the rudder lines up with the top of the fin.
