Fuselage — Elevator  

(continued) 

Installa on of Elevator Control Hinges  

 

11) Test fit all hinges into elevator and horizontal stabilizer to make sure alignment and posi on is correct. 

Also make sure there is enough clearance between the elevator joiner so as not to rub on the fuselage.  

Should there be clearance issues, you may touch it up with a Dremel and a sanding drum 

12) Clean the points with denatured alcohol.   

13) Beginning with the control surface side, apply 15 minute epoxy onto the  ps of each hinge and carefully 

insert into the hole making sure epoxy does not squeeze out, geHng into the hinge. 

14) Once cured, now we can a)ach the control surface to the horizontal stabilizer.  Begin by star ng on one 

side, puHng epoxy into the groove which the joiner will be.  Place epoxy on the  ps of the hinge points 

and carefully begin inser ng them into the horizontal stabilizer.  As you con nue to press them into 

place, place the joiner into the slot, making sure the flat end goes into the control surface and the angled 

end remains exposed.  Now onto the other side.  Place epoxy into the slot of the other elevator half and 

on hinge points and install, making sure epoxy does not get into the hinge itself.  A couple of pieces of 

masking tape across the control surface and stabilizer will hold it in place un l epoxy cures. 

 

Installa on of Rudder Control Hinges  

 

The installa on of the rudder follows the same steps as the installa on of that of the elevator control surfac-

es. 

Tip

: A drop of light machine oil on the hinge itself will keep the epoxy from s cking to it
