I had to cut the two inner hinges and glue in the far right hinge. So the elevator is sitting on only two hinges, on the far right and far left. Also, the elevator is off center by about 1/8 of an inch.
This CA is STRONG, so I don't think it will be a problem. There's also a small gap, but not big. I don't think it will affect anything in the long run. Do you guys think I should replace the whole horizontal stab, or will it be okay?
Will it be ok? In one word or less, NO! Two hinges will not be enough to hold the elevator in flight, no matter how strong you think the CA is. You will need to cut the hinges free, cut new slots for the hinges in both the elevator and horizontal stab, and reassemble them correctly with new hinges. If you try to fly the plane like this you're more than likely going to bring it home in a bag.
The problem is that you did not attach the CA hinges properly. The hinges need to be IN PLACE in the both the stab and elevator before you apply CA to them. You can't put CA on them and then insert them, it just won't work. RCU member Minnflyer has written an excellent "how-to" on using CA hinges. Read it over before you continue on and see if it doesn't help you out. It can be found at:
