Section 2: Elevon Construction – Cont.
Step 5
Bend each elevon to full deflection (about 90
deg.). Be careful to not bend so far as to pull
the elevons and trailing edge apart.
Allow the elevons to return to neutral position
Be careful not to loose the full deflection
spacing that you just set. There should be an
even spaced gap all the way down the
elevon and trailing edge (approx. 1/16").
With the airframe lying on the table, soak
each CA hinge with thin CA. Allow your first
glue application to dry, then apply glue to
both the top and bottom of all the hinges.
Next, place a CA hinge on the top of the
elevon as a "re-enforcement pad" for the
control horn, as per the plans. Once in
position, apply thin CA to the entire "pad" and
allow the glue to dry completely before doing
the same to the bottom of the elevons.
