RE: Pay It Forward Build Thread!! Sig LT-40 build
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, with that in mind I'm going to let the pictures speak for themself. Installing the elevator is done in exactly the same way as both ailerons and the rudder.
Pictures
1. Insert the CA hinges into the pre-cut slots
2. Use a straight pin in the middle of the hinge to ensure that you don't insert it too far into the stabilizer.
3. Hinges ready for attachment of the elevator.
4. Slide the elevator onto the hinges.
5. Push the elevator all the way up to the horizontal stabilizer
6. After the elevator is in place pull out the straight pins.
7. Ensure that the ends of the elevator line up to the outside edges of the horizontal stabilizer
8. Apply thin CA to the hinges in the same manner as we did on the other structures.
Until next time
