2. Align the rear of the fin with the rear of the
fuselage.
Make sure that the fin is perpendicular to the
stab and fit flat on the fin platform.
Make a mixture of epoxy and epoxy the fin
onto the fin platform Again, make sure the the
fin is once again straight to the fuse and per-
pendicular to the stab.
3. Fit the plastic tail fairing over the stab and
around the fin.
6. Press the fairing down onto the fuselage
and check for fit. Adjust the fit if necessary.
Mark where the fairing tab extends past the
elevator bevel and remove. This excess will
interfere with the elevator movement.
6. Once satisfied with the fit then glue in place
using CA glue.
CAUTION: Use glue sparingly.
Remove excess tab
HINGING THE ELEVATORS
Collect the following items:
(2) Elevators
(6) Hinges
1. Take three hinges and, as with the aileron
hinge installation, insert the hinge into the
elevator, using straight pins to ensure the
hinge stays centered between the stabilizer
and the elevator.
Slide the exposed side of the hinge into the
slots in the stab until the pins touch both the
stab and the elevator.
2. Remove the pins in each hinge and, keeping
the elevator/stab assembly in position, apply
3 or 4 drops of thin CA to each hinge, on both
the top and bottom sides of the stab.
Allow ten minutes for the CA to cure before
flexing the elevator. Then install the second
elevator.
