HOW TO GLUE THE TUBES TO THE CONTROL SURFACES
NOTE: You may want to protect your work surface from
excess glue. We recommend Great Planes Plan Protector
(GPMR6167) for this purpose.
A. Cut several 1-1/2" pieces of tape. Fold the last 1/4" over
to make a tab for easy removal.
B. Coat the edge of the foam with foam-safe CA–do not use
an excessive amount of glue. Hint: A CA applicator tip is
recommended to accurately control the bead of glue.
C. Use the tape pieces to hold the tube against the foam
edge. Weigh the parts down on a flat surface to prevent
warping and allow the glue to cure without accelerator.
D. Once the glue has cured, remove the tape.

6. Cut the elevator halves free of the sheet.
❏
7. Join the elevators to the stab by snapping the clip
hinges to the joiner tube.
❏
8. Insert an A1 Z-bend clevis into a C1 clip-hinge
control horn.
HOW TO MAKE INSTALLING Z-BEND CLEVISES EASIER
A. Using a sharp #11 hobby knife, remove any flashing from
the inside of the hole you are installing the Z-bend into. Do
this by rotating the blade in the hole while applying gentle
pressure. Be careful not to remove too much material–your
goal here is to remove small ridges of flashing, not to make
the hole bigger.
B. Snap the Z-bend clevis into place.
❏
9. Clip the control horn onto the joiner tube aligned with
the precut slot.
❏
10. Coat the gluing area on the control horn with glue and
rotate it down into the precut slot.
