Required Parts
• Stabilizer (left and right) • CA hinges (6)
• Elevator (right and left)
Required Tools and Adhesives
• T-pins • Thin CA
• Paper towels • CA remover/debonder
• Drill • Drill bit: 1/16"
  Step 1
Locate three CA hinges and place a T-pin in the center
of the hinge as shown. Drill 1/16" holes at each hinge
location on the elevator and stabilizer. Slide each of the
three hinges into the elevator so the T-pin is resting
against the leading edge of the elevator.
  Step 2
Slide the elevator onto the stabilizer until there is
only a slight gap between the stabilizer and elevator.
Remove the T-pins and snug the elevator against the
stabilizer. Position the elevator so the tip aligns with
the tip of the stabilizer.
Note: Do not use CA accelerator during
the hinging process. The CA must be
allowed to soak into the hinge to provide
the best bond. Using accelerator will not
provide enough time for this process.
  Step 3
Deflect the elevator and apply thin CA to the hinge.
Apply enough CA to completely saturate both the top and
bottom of the hinge. Use care not to deflect the elevator so
it pulls away from the stabilizer. When the hinge is glued
in place, there should be no more than a 1/64" hinge gap
maintained throughout the length of the elevator.
  Step 4
Use CA remover/debonder and a paper towel to remove
any excess CA accumulated on the stabilizer or elevator
surface. Allow time for the CA to completely cure before
moving to the next step.
