Elevator hinge
The elevator hinges are mounted on the top casing since this is a straight line. The
back line of the bottom cladding has an angle and the result of a geometric error could
cause the parts not to bond together. Prepare a 6-ply prelam to make 6 12x3” pieces and
place inside the top liner covering from spar to hinge. These gussets will range from BL-
5 to BL-17 L and R and BL-42 to BL 54 L and R. Locate and mark the location of the
hinges on BL-6.5 to BL-15.5 and BL-43.75 for BL-52.75 on both sides, right and left,
and measure 2 millimeters forward and cut so that the hinge is installed at this location.
Take the aluminum hinge strip pieces and saw off 4 9-inch long pieces. Clean the
hinges with a file or table grinder. The hinge pins should be secured now so they won’t
fall out due to vibration. This can be accomplished by taking out the pins, cutting them
about 1/4 inch shorter, and bending the end of the extrusion (a tip can be used for this
bend) if it is not ready.
