 1. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit

to drill a hole in the center of each hinge slot in the

elevator and stabilizer to create a tunnel for the CA

to wick into. This will allow the CA to penetrate the

hinge, creating a better bond between the hinge and

surrounding wood.

 2. Remove the control horn backplate from the

control horn using a hobby knife and #11 blade.

The backplate can be discarded as it is not used in

the assembly of your model.

 3. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a 2mm x

8mm self-tapping screw into each of the pre-drilled

holes to cut threads in the surrounding wood. Remove

the screw before moving to the next step.
