 Now you have to fit the elevator hinge pins. There are 6 pins holding the elevator; 5 are
pins and one is the locking pin.
 When screwing them on it is important not to scratch the pin as it will bind when fitted.
Lubricate the pins with grease and position the elevator to the horizontal stabilizer, knock
into place with a rubber hammer and check for free movement after each couple of hits.
Move the elevator up and down about 50 times to free up the hinges and then remove
the elevator.
 Clean the hinges with spirits, apply grease and refit to the stabilizer. Then repeat this
process several times to ‘work the hinges in’ and allow for free movement of the elevator.
When finished mark the pins with red paint.
