Install The Tail Surfaces; Hinge The Ailerons - GREAT PLANES FW-190 Focke Wulf Instruction Manual

Install the Tail Surfaces

❏
1. Slide the stab into the slot in the rear of the fuselage.
Center it as you did with the wing. Make sure the
measurements shown in the sketches are equal. Glue the
stab in place when satisfied with the fit.
❏
2. Locate the 13.5" [343 mm] carbon elevator rod. Insert
this rod into the preinstalled plastic bearings on the stab. DO
NOT glue in place.
❏
3. Use foam-safe CA to glue one of the elevator halves
to the carbon elevator rod. Then glue the other elevator to
the carbon rod. Be sure the two halves are even as shown.
❏
4. Glue the fin and rudder to the fuselage with epoxy.
Make sure that the fin remains perpendicular to the stab and
centered on the fuselage.

Hinge the Ailerons

❏ ❏
1. Locate one of the carbon wing hinge assemblies.
One of the carbon tubes is glued to the bearings; the other
is free to rotate. Remove the loose carbon tube to prevent
accidental gluing in the next steps.
❏ ❏
2. Test fit one of the wing hinges in the wing. The outer
bearing should be flush with the wing tip. When satisfied with
the fit, epoxy the hinge in place. Be careful to avoid getting
epoxy into the open bearings.
