Dryfit one H.S. Base Sheet onto the upper tabs of the H.S. Ribs.
Use thin CA to glue this Base Sheet in place. Commence the
gluing along the H.S. Spar.
When the Base Sheet tab opening, sides and Spar edges are
glued, pinch together the H.S. Base Sheet and Top Sheet. Use thin
CA to glue the forward tips of these two pieces together.
Finally, to close the centre of the Horizontal Stab, locate the
reserved 1
1
⁄8" x 3" piece of balsa sheeting. Slide into the opening
between the two Base Sheets by cutting open two small slits
along the H.S. leading edge to accommodate its width.
Once in place, use something thin and strong to push the balsa
scrap up against the inside of the Base Sheets. Use thin CA glue
to secure it in place.
To create the tips of the Horizontal Stab, first sand each end of
the H.S. flush (using block sander).
Next, locate the 10 balsa H.S. Tips. Use CA to glue four H.S. Tips to
each other, and finally to glue this laminated H.S. Tip to each end
of the Horizontal Stab.
Sand the leading edge of your Horizontal Stab to match the
profile shown on Plans Sheet 1.
Creating the Elevator
Locate:
• 2 Elevator Base Sheets. (deeper than the Top Sheets.)
• 2 Elevator Top Sheets
• 10 Elevator Ribs
• 2 Elevator Spars
• 4 Elevator Doublers
On each Elevator Top Sheet, you will use thin CA to glue on the
Elevator Ribs – 5 per side. Ribs should sit within the depth of the
base. If a Rib extends beyond one side, it is facing the wrong way.
Keep each Rib as vertical as possible as you apply CA to its base.
