Elevon Control System Installation - Model Tech Mini Mach Racer Assembly Instructions Manual

q Allow the C/A to dry for about 15 minutes, then pivot the elevon up and down several times to free up the hinges.
IMPORTANT Check the integrity of the hinges after the C/A fully cures by gently pulling on the elevon. If one or more hinges feels
loose, apply more C/A to the hinge(s) and allow it to completely cure. The last thing you want is for a hinge to come loose
during flight.

q Slide one hinge into each of the three hinge slots in the elevon, making sure
that you push each hinge in up to the T-Pins.
IMPORTANT Don't glue the hinges into the elevon yet.
q Push the elevon and hinges into the corresponding three hinge slots in the
trailing edge of the wing.
q Remove the T-Pins and push the elevon up against the trailing edge. There
should be no more than a 1/32" (.7mm) wide hinge gap and the outer end of
the elevon should not touch the wing when the elevon is deflected.
q While holding the elevon tight against the trailing edge, pivot the elevon
down 45º and apply 5-6 drops of thin C/A to the exposed area of each hinge,
then turn the wing over and repeat for the other side of the hinges.
q Repeat the previous procedures to hinge the second elevon to the other
side of the wing.
