Dryfit the Elevator Spars onto the ends of the Elevator Ribs.
Apply thin CA glue to the base of the Elevator Spar, where it
contacts the Elevator Base Sheet.
Locate the four
3
/
16" Elevator Doublers.
On each inside end of the Elevator, glue on two Doublers with
thin CA. The Elevator Doublers will extend beyond the end of the
Elevator Top Sheet slightly.
Sand the trailing edge of the Elevator to a fine point.
Install the Elevator Base Sheet. Use thin CA to first glue the tabs,
then where it connects to the trailing edge, and finally the
remaining three sides.
Sand the trailing edge of the Base Sheet to match the angle of
the Top Sheet. See Plans Sheet 2.
Sand the end of the Doubler to match the angled Elevator
end profile.
Use thin CA to glue five Elevator Tips onto the outer end of each
Elevator. See Figure 46. (Note: the angled end is the inner end of
each Elevator.)
Sand smooth the laminated Elevator Tips.
Temporarily tape the Elevators to the Horizontal Stab.
Flip the Horizontal Stab over and let the Elevators hang over the
edge of your work surface.
Use a
3
⁄32 drill bit to drill a hole into each Elevator, as indicated by
the arrows in Figure 47.
