RE: Airfoilz RCU Extra 260
OK...now we are going to hinge the tail!
1) After cutting the painters tape...carefully cut the slits that will hold the hinges into the direct center of the elevator and stab.
2) Test fit the hinges and adjust if needed.
3) Once you are sure that everything is square...apply epoxy to the hinges and slide it into the stab. Do not epoxy the elevator YET!!
4) Once the epoxy has cured...slide it into the stab opening...if it is to tight...sand to fit. It should be snug...just not super tight!
5) Now remove the stab and slide in the elevator...move it all the way back so we can now fit the stab back in.
6) Now is the time to test fit the hinges into the elevator...make sure you have full movement and then epoxy the hinges into the stab.
7) Carefully measure the distance from the stab to the wings...make sure that the stab is straight and square...then apply med CA to the stab to the fuse.
8) Next we will attach the rudder to the vertical stab. Same process...attach with painters tape.
9) Cut the tape and cut the slits into the stab and rudder...carefully in the middle of the foam and ply.
