Section 13: Hinging the Elevators

Step 5
Turn the fuselage over, deflect the elevator in the
opposite direction, and apply thin CA to the other
side of the hinges as described in the previous step.
Make sure the thin CA penetrates completely into
both the elevator and stabilizer.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Firmly grasp the elevator and stabilizer and gently pull
them apart to ensure the hinges are secure and cannot be
pulled apart. Use caution when gripping them to avoid
crushing the structure.
Step 8
Work the elevator up and down several times to work in
the hinges and check for proper movement.
Step 9
Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for the remaining elevator.
