8) After both ailerons are securely hinged,
firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to
make sure the hinges are securely glued and
cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully
applying medium pressure, trying to separate
the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution
not to crush the wing structure.
Note:
Work the aileron up and down several
times to “work in” the hinges and check
for proper movement.

1) Carefully remove the elevator from one
of the horizontal stabilizer panels. Note the
position of the hinges.
!
2) Remove each hinge from the horizontal
stabilizer panel and elevator and place a T-pin
in the center of each hinge. Slide each hinge
into the elevator until the T-pin is snug against
the elevator. This will help ensure an equal
amount of hinge is on either side of the hinge
line when the elevator is mounted to the
horizontal stabilizer panel.
1/64” gap or less will be maintained throughout
the lengh of the elevator to the horizontal
stabilizer panel hinge line.
Note:
The hinge is constructed of a special
material that allows the C/A to wick or
penetrate and distribute throughout the
hinge, securely bonding it to the wood
structure of the horizontal stabilizer
panel and elevator.
!
5) Turn the horizontal stabilizer panel over
and deflect the elevator in the opposite
direction from the opposite side. Apply thin CA
glue to each hinge, making sure that the C/A
penetrates into both the elevator and horizontal
stabilizer panel.

3) Slide the elevator on the horizontal
stabilizer panel until there is only a slight gap.
The hinge is now centered on the horizontal
stabilizer panel and elevator. Remove the T-
pins and snug the elevator against the
horizontal stabilizer panel. A gap of 1/64” or
less should be maintained between the
horizontal stabilizer panel and elevator.
!
4)Deflect the elevator and completely
saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The
elevators front surface should lightly contact
the horizontal stabilizer during this procedure.
Ideally, when the hinges are glued in place, a
T-pins.
