􀀀 Step 10
Mix a small amount of 30-minute epoxy. Apply a
thin layer to the bare wood on the top and bottom of
the stabilizer then slide it into place in the fuselage.
Make sure it is pushed all the way forward and use
the marked lines to align it to the fuselage. Once the
stabilizer is in place, use a paper towel and rubbing
alcohol to clean any excess epoxy and remove the lines.
􀀀 Step 11
Prepare six CA hinges by inserting a T-pin in their
centers. This will ensure they are centered when
installed in the stabilizer and elevators.
􀀀 Step 12
Insert a hinge into each of the three pre-cut hinge
slots in each elevator half.
􀀀 Step 13
Cut two 1 1/2-inch squares of waxed paper. Fold them
around the trailing edge of each stabilizer side next to
the fuselage. These will prevent excess epoxy from
gluing the joiner or elevators to the stabilizer.
􀀀 􀀀 Step 14
Mix some 30-minute epoxy and use a toothpick to
apply it to the groove and joiner hole in an elevator
half. Make sure to get glue completely inside the
joiner hole.
􀀀 􀀀 Step 15
Slide the elevator onto the joiner while engaging the
hinges in their corresponding slots in the stabilizer.
Push the elevator onto the hinges to the T-pins and
align the tip with that of the stabilizer.
