I used an ice pick (scratch awl) to mark and start the hole, in the position needed for drilling the elevator halves for the joiner wire. Carefully drill the 3/32" hole, constantly checking and assuring alignment, both vertically and horizontally, into the control surface. Be careful not drill beyond the needed depth.




A small amount of 30-minute epoxy is mixed, and the joiner wire is epoxied into both elevatore halves.


(I think Tim approves of my elevator assembly!)
