Step 14
After the CA has fully cured, gently pull on the rudder
and fin to make sure the hinges are secure. If not, re-glue
the hinges.
Step 15
To break in the hinges, you will need to flex the rudder
back and forth a number of times.
Step 16
Use medium grit sandpaper to sand the evevator torque
rods. Use rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to remove
any dirt and debris from the torque rod. This will aid in
strengthening the bond between the elevator, torque rod
and epoxy.
Step 17
Hinging the elevator follows the same procedure as the
rudder, except you will need to apply 30-minute epoxy to
the torque rods that enter the elevator.
Step 18
Repeat Steps 1 through 17 for the remaining rudder
and elevator.
