Without using glue, slide the other elevator onto the joiner rod and into the stabilizer. Check the
alignment of the elevators. If there is a misalignment of the elevator tips, you can sand the joiner slot as
necessary to correct, but if you have access to a heat gun, a quicker way is to complete the installation of
the elevators, then twist the elevators to correct any misalignment, and shrink out any resulting wrinkles in
the covering – this locks the elevators permanently into the new orientation. Also, a small to moderate
misalignment of the elevators will not affect flight performance.
Place several large drops of thick CA glue into the joiner slot in the second elevator half as shown, then
install onto the horizontal stabilizer, gluing with two large drops of thin CA on each hinge.
Install a control horn into the elevator as shown using a generous amount of thick CA glue. Assemble the
elevator pushrod by screwing a ball link onto the threaded end of the longest metal pushrod in the kit.
Use a Phillips screw, washer, and nut to attach the pushrod to the elevator horn as shown. Use thick CA
glue to lock the nut.
