 1. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit
to drill a hole in the center of each hinge slot in the
elevator and stabilizer to create a tunnel for the CA
to wick into. This will allow the CA to penetrate the
hinge, creating a better bond between the hinge and
surrounding wood.

control horn using a hobby knife and #11 blade.
The backplate can be discarded as it is not used in
the assembly of your model.
 3. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a 2mm x
8mm self-tapping screw into each of the pre-drilled
