 1. Mix a small amount of 6-minute epoxy. Use
a toothpick to apply the epoxy to the slot in the
elevator and into the hole drilled in the elevator.
 2. Apply a thin layer of epoxy on the elevator
control wire at this time as well.
Make sure not to apply epoxy near the threaded
portion of the elevator control wire.
 3. Press the elevator control wire into the elevator
half. Remove any excess epoxy using a paper
towel and rubbing alcohol. Use low-tack tape to
hold the wire tightly in position in the elevator.
 4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to install the
remaining elevator control wire. Make sure to
make a left and a right elevator. The threaded
end of the control wire should point down toward
the bottom of elevator.
 5. Place a T-pin in the center of two of the elevator
hinges. This will help center them equally in the
stabilizer and elevator when they are installed.
 6. Slide the two hinges into the slots that have been
pre-cut into the elevator.
