Elevator & Rudder Hinge Installation - RC Guys Super Decathlon ARF Assembly Manual

Elevator & Rudder Hinge Installation
Position and glue in place using Epoxy all hinge points into the factory predrilled holes in the 2 Elevator halves. Do not
glue them into the Stabilizer or fin at this time.
NOTE: Check that the hinges are operating in the proper direction before the glue dries. You may want to place a
small drop of light oil on the hinge pins so the glue will not stick to them.
HINT: Gorilla Glue is also good for gluing hinges because it expands to fill the gaps.
If using engine weighing less than 3 lbs, you may want to position the Elevator Servo on the Servo Tray rather than at the
rear of the Fuselage for better balance.
You can use the optional Elevator Joiner if you only want just one Elevator Servo, either on the Servo Tray or at the rear
of the Fuselage below the Stabilizer using the appropriate pushrod. Test fit the Elevator halves before gluing the hinges.
If they are not in alignment remove and bend the Elevator Joiner.
