4. Slide the hinges in the slots in the stabilizer.

5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 to position the remaining

elevator half.

6. Position the elevators so the gap between the stabilizer

tip and the balance tabs of the elevators are equal.

Check the operation of the elevator to make sure it does

not bind against the stabilizer.

7. Mix a small amount of 6-minute epoxy and apply it

inside the hole in the elevator that the joiner wire fits into.

Follow the previous steps to position the stabilizer before

the epoxy cures. Be very careful to make sure that no

epoxy runs back out of the joiner hole. If any does use

alcohol and paper towels to remove any excess.

8. Use a hobby knife to set the gap between the

stabilizer and elevator, similar to that of the aileron hinge

installation. Apply thin CA to the top and bottom of each

hinge. Make sure to saturate the hinges, applying the CA

to the slot in the hinge so it penetrates fully into the hinge

for the best bond between the stabilizer and elevator.
