Section 4: Hinging the Rudder and Elevator
Step 5. Use CA remover/debonder and a paper towel to
remove excess CA from the elevator and horizontal stabilizer.
Step 6. After the elevator has been attached to the horizontal
stabilizer, firmly grasp the fuselage and the elevator to check that
the hinges are securely glued and cannot be pulled out. Do this
by applying medium pressure, trying to separate the elevator
from the horizontal stabilizer. Use caution that you do not crush
the structure.
Note: Work the elevator up and down several times to "work
in" the hinges and check for proper movement.
Step 7. Repeat this process for hinging the rudder to the verti-
cal stabilizer. Remember to flex the rudder back and forth several
times to "work in" the hinge.
Step 8. You will next attach the rudder and elevator control
horns. Locate the nylon control horns (2), backplates (2) and the
four 8mm long control horn screws.
Step 9. Install the elevator control horn first. It will be located
on the elevator, centered to the opening in the aft of the
fuselage. Make sure it's centered to the opening, as the elevator
clevis will move in and out of that opening. Also, make sure the
control horn holes for the pushrod wire are positioned over the
hinge line of the elevator/horizontal stabilizer.
Step 10. When you're satisfied with the location of the
control horn, mark the position of the screw locations with a felt
tipped pen or pencil.
