RE: DeNight Special 50 ARF by Hangar 9
Make sure the epoxy has set properly on the stab before you start hinging the elevator halves. Everyone
has their own favorite way to install CA hinges, so go for it. I like to use "T" pins to center each hinge in
the moving surface (no CA yet!) and then tape some folded waxed paper on each side of the stab
next to the fuse. This will prevent excess epoxy from gluing the joiner or elevator to the stab.
Mix up your epoxy and appply it, with a toothpick,to the groove and joiner hole in one elevator half. Then
slide the elevator onto the joiner while sliding the hinges into their corrresponding slots in the stab. Now,
allign the elevator tip with the tip of the stab and you got it!OK, now do the other elevator half.Don't
worry if the hinge gap is very small, because once the epoxy sets on the joiner wire.................it's time to
CA (I used ZAP thin)all the hinges on both elevator halves! Again, this is just my way of doing it.
