2) Measure the leading edge of the elevator and make a small mark at the midpoint. Do the same for
the trailing edge of the horizontal fuselage.
3) Make glue hinges. Pin to the building board each of the hinged parts, with bevel cut down against
the building board. Locate the parts with the mating surfaces gently touching, ensuring that the
parts are centered or otherwise aligned correctly, depending on the surface. Run the smallest
possible bead of foam glue along each seam. Run a finger along each seam to push the glue
between the mating parts. Blot up excess glue with a paper towel. Let dry at sufficiently for the
glue to fully cure. Leaving the parts overnight is ideal for the strongest and most true bond.

BUILDING TIP: It helps to use some weight to hold the parts in alignment while the glue is curing
if you choose not to use pins.
