• Afterwards, adjust the elevator unit so that the
two distances A are equally long.
A thin piece of string which does not expand is
most suitable for measuring the distance.
• In addition, the elevator unit has to be parallel
to the wing.
Tolerances can easily be compensated for by
inserting thin strips of paper that are
afterwards glued on.
Our tip:
The easiest way of seeing whether the elevator unit is tilted in relation to the wing is to
look at your model from some distance from the back.
• Afterwards, draw the outline of the fuselage
onto the top and bottom side of the elevator
unit using a thin pen, and then take the unit
from the fuselage.
• Apply some polystyrene adhesive within the
drawn outline on the elevator unit. Afterwards,
also apply some adhesive to the gap for the
elevator unit in the fuselage.
Only use an adhesive suitable for hard foam!
• Re-insert the elevator unit into the fuselage, adjust it exactly according to the principle explained
above, and carefully press together the top and bottom end of the fuselage with your fingers for
some minutes. Use a cloth to wipe away any leaking adhesive immediately.
