- Use a hobby knife to cut slots in the
trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer
and leading edge of the elevator.
- Make sure the slots are cut on the center
lines of the trailing edge of the horizontal
stabilizer and the leading edge of the el-
evator. So that the elevator will work cor-
rectly without binding. Also make sure
the slots are deep enough to allow half the
hinge to be inserted into the slot.
- Ater all the slots have been cut, insert a
single hinge halfway into each hinge slot
in the stabilizer ( or in, or wing, as the
case may be).
- If the hinge is diicult to push in, re-in-
sert the knife and move it back and forth
in the slot a few more times and then try
again.
NOTE: DO NOT GLUE THE HINGES
IN AT THIS TIME!
