E-flite Cessna 150 Aerobat 250 ARF Assembly Manual

Do not use CA accelerator when gluing the

stabilizer to the fuselage. The CA must be

allowed to soak into the fuselage and stabilizer

for the best bond between the two surfaces.

15. Recheck the alignment between the wing and

stabilizer. Wick thin CA into the joint between the

stabilizer and fuselage. Allow the CA to fully cure

before proceeding.

Do not use CA accelerator when gluing the hinges.

The CA must be allowed to soak into the hinge for the

best bond between the hinge and surrounding wood.

16. Saturate each hinge with thin CA. Apply CA to

both the top and bottom of the hinge. Allow the CA to

fully cure before proceeding.

17. Check that the hinges are secure by gently pulling

on the control surface. If not, apply thin CA to any

hinges that are not glued and recheck.

18. Move the control surface through its range of

motion several times to break in the hinges. This

will reduce the initial load on the servo during

your first flights.

19. Remove the wing from the fuselage at this time.
