Elevons assembly
The full size Saab Draken has two elevons on each wing that move in unison. The Draken
model replicates this setup. Line up the Elevon_01 and 02 with each other and glue with
medium cyano. Drill a 1mm hole in the control horn at the position of the 3D printed hole.
Cut four hinges from a Cyano hinge sheet with the dimensions of 15x25mm and one
15x20mm. Check that the hinges can be inserted into the 3D printed hinge pockets of both
the elevons and the fuselage. It may be necessary to pry the pockets open with an exacto
knife.
The outer elevon is moved by the inner elevon with the help of a tab. Insert the 15x20mm
cyano sheet tab into the pocket of the inner elevon. Make sure not more than 10mm of the
tab protrudes from the inner elevon. Glue the tab with thin cyano. Slide the outer elevon
onto the tab and test fit the elevons assembly to the fuselage. Make sure there is a 1mm gap
between all parts to ensure unobstructed movement of the elevons. When satisfied with the
position of the elevons put a drop of thin cyano onto each hinge. Repeat from the other
side. DO NOT add any glue to the tab between the two elevons. It should move freely in the
pocket of the outer elevon.
Repeat the above steps for the other wing.
