Trim the inboard edges of the elevator slot foam
cores flush with the sides of the fuselage.

Slip CS15 over the outboard end of Q2C5A8. the universal joint into the inboard end ofQ2C5A8. and then the outboard end of the Q2C5A8 assembly into the elevator reducer mounted in the inboard end of the left elevator.

Slip C515 over the outboard end of e520. the
eS14 over the inboard end of e520. then the universal joint into the inboard end of e520.
and then the outboard end of the e520 assembly into the elevator reducer mounted in the in
board end of the right elevator.

What follows is a very qual,tative fitting process. Using at least three people. dry fit C519, C517. e515_ and e514 again_t the canard shear web in the appropriate positions (C519 against outboard end of elevator slot foam core. eS17 at the midspan slot) e515 against the
inboard end of the elevator slot foam core. and e514 against the shear web near BL1 Right), check for binding. Working slowly.. correct any binding or clearance problem (1/16" MIN elevator clearance applies just like on the ailerons) by modifying C519. e517. e515, and C514. Please.
do one thing at a time. The arm on Q2C5A8 should be at approximately BLOO.

When the complete elevator assembly fits well.
and rotates freely. mix up some 5-MIN with flox and temporarily mount CS19, CS15. and CS14.
(DO NOT mount the CS17's).

Remove
all of the pieces except e519. e515, and CS14. Carefully lay up the BID
cloth that permanently holds CS19, CS15, and CS14 in place. These parts
must be solidly mounted so that
they cannot break off while in service. Use
the "Aileron Installation" section of the MAIN WING chapter as a guide to the
laminations.

Once
the laminations indicated in step 6 have cured, you will want to install
the e517's permanently. Install the elevators on the inboard and outboard
pivots; remember to leave
at least a gap of 0.5" inboard for the elevator spacers. (If you haven1t lost
any inches anywhere up to this point. those spacers will be
1.0" in length). Install CS17 on QC5M3 against the face of QC5M2. Make CS17 the
meat of a sandwich with a pair of C518's as the bread, and trial fit the sandwich
against the canard shear web dry through the slot made previously. When satisfied
with the fit. and sure that the elevator clearance is a minimum of 1/16" top
and bottom permanently mount CS17 and the
CS18's with wet flox. It is very important to really pack the flox into the holes
so that you get very good squeeze out, and not trapped air. If the flox doesn't
ooze out when CS17 and CS18's are pushed into place, then you haven't got enough
flox pushed into the holes. Use tape
and stirring sticks to maintain the 1/16" elevator clearance top and bottom.
while the setup is allowed to cure for at least 24 hours. Obviously, be careful
that the excess flox does
