10. Saturate each hinge with thin CA. Apply CA to
both the top and bottom of the hinge.
11. Once the CA has cured, gently pull on the
control surface and stabilizer to make sure the hinges
are glued securely. If not, apply CA to those hinges
that are not glued and recheck.
12. Move the control surface through its range of
motion several times to break in the hinges. This
will reduce the initial load on the servo during your
first flights.
13. Repeat steps 1 through 12 to install the other

1. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit
to drill a hole in the center of each hinge slot in the
rudder and fin to create a tunnel for the CA to wick
into. This will allow the CA to penetrate the hinge,
creating a better bond between the hinge and
surrounding wood.
