As with the installation of the ailerons, insert a

Mix up a small amount of epoxy and insert it
into the hole in the elevator where the wire
elevator joiner fits.
Slide the hinges halfway into the elevator and
then slide the entire assembly into the hinge
slots in the stabilizer making sure the wire
joiner is inserted in the hole and groove .
Make sure the elevator is flush with the end of
the stab. If desired, tape the elevator to the
stab to keep the pieces together.

Keeping the stab and elevator in position,
remove the pins and apply 3 or 4 drops of thin
CA on to each hinge location.
Repeat steps 10 & 11 for the other elevator.

least 10 minutes before flexing the elevator.
