STEP 39
Now slide the first elevator into position ensuring that the
joiner enters the hole in the elevator and all three hinges
enter their pre-cut slots in the tailplane. Ensuring a
gap-free hinge line, align the end of the elevator with the
tip of the tailplane.
STEP 40
Apply a couple of drops of thin cyano to the top and
bottom of each hinge. Make sure that the glue does not
run through the hinge line onto the bottom of the tail.
Repeat for the second elevator half ensuring both elevator
halves are in line with each other.
STEP 41
Insert four hinges into the rudder, ensuring they are located
mid-way in their slots. Using thin cyano, pour a couple of
drops onto each hinge - from above and below - ensuring the
glue soaks into the hinge and the surrounding wood.
STEP 42
Now slide the rudder into position making sure that all hinges
enter their pre-cut slots in the fin. With a gap-free hinge line,
ensure that the top of the rudder is aligned with the top of
the fin. Now add a couple of drops of thin cyano to both sides
of each hinge. Make sure that the glue does not run through
the hinge line onto the other side of the fin.
STEP 43
Temporarily fit your spinner backplate and propeller. Place
your engine on the pre-fitted mount and adjust its position
until the rear of the spinner backplate is 107mm in front of
the firewall.
