5. Use a knife to make an slot on on the center-
line for each hinge.
6. Test fit each hinge, as you proceed.
NOTE: DO NOT GLUE THE HINGES IN PLACE AT
THIS TIME.
7. From D/C sheet 6723, assemble the two
BEVELING TOOLS.
Tack glue a piece of medium sandpaper onto
each tool.
8. Using the tool marked “T,” bevel the rudder
L.E. and the elevator L.E. to a point at the
scribed centerline. Use a knife to bevel near
the air balances, as the tool cannot get into the
corner.
9. Temporarily hinge the rudder/fin assembly and
the elevator/stab assembly, in order to check
the alignment and round the perimeter of the
assembles. You may wish to use masking tape
to help hold the pieces together.
10. Assemble the ROUNDING TOOL and insert,
but do not glue, a piece of medium sandpaper
11. Use the tool to round the perimeter of the
fin/rudder assembly and the elevator/stab
assembly.
When satisfied with the shape, change the
sandpaper to fine git and repeat Step 10 to
smooth the rough surface.
12. Finish sand the entire surface of both assem-
blies, using a sanding block with fine grit sand-
paper. Then separate the fudder from the fin
and the stab from the elevator.
THIS COMPLETES THE TAIL OF THE AIRCRAFT.
SET THE PARTS ASIDE UNTIL LATER.
