 1. Apply a piece of the hinge tape to the top of the
left elevator. Center the tape width-wide on the hinge
line of the elevator.
 2. Position the elevator against the stabilizer. Check to
make sure the elevator can move without any binding
before securing the tape. Use the remaining piece of
hinge tape on the bottom of the elevator to complete the
hinging process.
 3. Use foam-safe CA to glue the elevator joiner rod to
the left elevator half. Allow the CA to fully cure before
continuing with your assembly of the Tribute.
Hint: Use low-tack tape to hold the two elevator halves
in neutral while the CA fully cures to ensure they are in
alignment with each other.
