4. Slide the hinges in the slots in the stabilizer.
5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 to position the remaining
elevator half.
6. Position the elevators so the gap between the stabilizer
tip and the balance tabs of the elevators are equal.
Check the operation of the elevator to make sure it does
not bind against the stabilizer.
7. Mix a small amount of 6-minute epoxy and apply it
inside the hole in the elevator that the joiner wire fits into.
Follow the previous steps to position the stabilizer before
the epoxy cures. Be very careful to make sure that no
epoxy runs back out of the joiner hole. If any does use
alcohol and paper towels to remove any excess.
8. Use a hobby knife to set the gap between the
stabilizer and elevator, similar to that of the aileron hinge
installation. Apply thin CA to the top and bottom of each
hinge. Make sure to saturate the hinges, applying the CA
to the slot in the hinge so it penetrates fully into the hinge
for the best bond between the stabilizer and elevator.
