TEMPORARY PIN
TO KEEP HINGE
CENTERED
LJ 2. Join the elevator to the stab with the hinges. If
the hinges will not stay centered, stick a pin through
the center of the hinge. Remove the pins after the
hinges are glued in place.
Q 3. There should be a small gap between the
control surfaces (just enough to see light). A small
gap is desirable so you do not inadvertently glue the
parts together.
Q 4. Carefully apply 4 drops of thin CA to both
sides of the hinges. Keep a cloth handy to wipe
away excess CA. If you spill a few drops of CA
on the covering, you can use CA Debonder
(GPMR6039) to remove it or carefully peel it off with
a hobby knife after it fully cures.
Do not use accelerator on any of the hinges. Do not
glue the hinges with anything other than thin CA
and do not attempt to glue one half of the hinge at
a time with medium or thick CA. They will not be
secure and the controls could separate while the
model is flying.
Q 5. Let the CA fully cure. Carefully Rex the elevator
several times to check the movement.
Q 6. Hinge the rest of the controls the same way.
Q 1. Reinstall the pushrods and connect
the servo control horns the same way you did
during construction.

Q 2. Route the receiver antenna through the guide
tube (if you installed one) or make a strain relief and
an antenna hook from a cut-off servo arm as shown
in the sketch.
U 3. Cut a hole in the covering over the wing dowel
holes in the fuselage. Install the dowels and glue
them in position with medium CA.
Q 4. Apply 1/16" thick Great Planes Single-Sided
Foam Tape (GPMQ4422) to the wing saddle of
the fuselage.
Q 5. Drill a #36 (or 7/64") hole through the
fuselage bottom and the tow hook anchor. From the
top, enlarge the hole 1/4" deep in the tow hook
anchor only with an 11/64" (or 5/32") drill to
accept the 6-32 blind nut for the tow hook.
