Tail Surfaces
29. Assemble the horizontal stabilizer over the plan on the detail sheet, from
parts H1 through H6. Bond with thin CA. Sand the horizontal stabilizer
smooth, rounding the leading edge and leaving the trailing edge square.
30. Assemble the elevator over the plan from parts E1 through E4. Bond with
thin CA.
31. Refer to the Tape Hinge Diagram on the detail sheet and sand a 45 degree
bevel in the leading edge of the elevator. Leave the trailing edge square.
32. Assemble the vertical stabilizer over the plan from parts V1 through V4.
Bond with thin CA. Sand the stabilizer smooth, rounding the leading edge
and leaving the trailing edge square.
33. Assemble the rudder over the plan from parts R1 through R4. Bond with
thin CA.
34. Refer to the Tape Hinge Diagram on the detail sheet and sand a 45 degree
bevel in the leading edge of the rudder. Leave the trailing edge square.
35. Assemble and bond the ailerons over the plan and bevel the leading edges.
When preparing to bevel the ailerons, lay them on the table next to each
other so that you have a
LEFT
and a
RIGHT
aileron. Bevel the
BOTTOM
edge of each aileron. This will result in two “mirror image” ailerons instead
of two identical ailerons (the dreaded “two left ailerons” situation.).
Final Assembly
36. Cover the model in a lightweight, durable material. We suggest Stevens
AeroModel AeroLITE. Think up a snazzy scheme, take your time, and make
your plane beautiful.
