Now on to the tail assembly!
1) Test fit the balsa support on the vertical stab...cut to fit.
2) After cutting to fit...CA the balsa to the stab.
3) Next take the elevator and gently using the carbon fiber tube...make a small groove so the carbon fiber tube will set flush in the elevator. Apply epoxy and microballons once the carbon tube is in place.
4) Once the epoxy has fully cured...carefully cut out the foam between the left and right side. Tip...bevel the leading edge before removing the middle piece.
5) Now it time to attach the balsa to the horizontal stab...cut to fit and attach to the foam using CA
6) Now we will use painters tape to hinge the elevator to the horizontal stab.
7) Carefully cut the tape and seperate the two surfaces.
