❑
Repeat the previous procedures to hinge the second elevator
half to the stabilizer.
After the C/A and epoxy have fully cured, gently grasp the elevator halves and stabilizer and pull on the elevator
halves like you are trying to pull out the hinges. The hinges should hold securely. If one or more hinges feels loose, apply more
C/A to the hinge(s) and allow it to completely cure.
PRO TIP
STEP 3: INSTALLING THE TAIL WHEEL ASSEMBLY
❑
Test-fit the tail wheel wire into the predrilled hole in the leading
edge of the rudder. When properly aligned, the tail wheel wire should
rest within the precut slot and the front edge of the tail wheel wire should
be flush with the leading edge of the rudder.
☞
It may be necessary to cut the slot deeper to achieve a perfect fit.
It's important that the front edge of the tail wheel wire be flush with the
leading edge of the rudder, so that it does not interfere with the proper
hinging of the rudder.

IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
With the tail wheel wire in place, double-check that the tail wheel is lined up with the bottom of the rudder. This
will ensure that the tail wheel will track straight with the rudder.
❑
Push the elevator half and its hinges into the hinge slots in the
trailing edge of the stabilizer, making sure that the elevator joiner wire is
firmly seated within the precut slot in the elevator half. The elevator half
should be pushed firmly up against the trailing edge, so that there is a
minimal hinge gap (no more than 1/32"), and the end of the elevator half
should be even with the end of the stabilizer.

✦
You may need to cut the slot for the elevator joiner
wire deeper, so that the elevator half can be pushed forward enough to
result in no more than a 1/32" wide hinge gap.
❑
When satisfied with the fit, remove the elevator half from the stabilizer, then cut out a 1" long x 1" wide piece of waxed paper and
slide it between the elevator joiner wire and the trailing edge of the stabilizer.
❑
Using 220 grit sandpaper, lightly sand the end of the elevator joiner wire to roughen the surface, then mix a small quantity of 5
minute epoxy and apply a thin layer to the end of the elevator joiner wire and into the pilot hole and the precut slot in the leading edge
of the elevator half.
❑
Push the elevator half and its hinges into the hinge slots in the trailing edge of the stabilizer, making sure that the elevator joiner
wire is firmly seated in the precut slot. Glue the elevator hinges into place, using the same techniques that you used to glue the
aileron hinges into place.
