cores are joined they should total 6 ft. in length.
.....
Basically, you will join the inboard and outboard core together,
insert CSI6, replace the front foam pieces, sand the combination
after it has cured to remove bumps and joggles, layup the bottom
skin, layup the top skin, and final trim the trailing edge after
installation.
.....
First, verify that the circular cutout for CS16 hot wired in the
foam cores is large enough by putting the cores, CSI6, and the fr9nt
foam piece together dry. If the front piece won't clamp up against
the core easily, carefully enlarge the cutout for CS16 until it will.
The micro slurry will require approximately 1/32 gap.
.....
Next sand CSI6. Mix up micro slurry paint it both on CS16 and on
the foam wherever CS16 comes in contact with foam. Join the inboard
and outboard foam cores together with micro slurry insert CSI6; then
insert the front foam piece. Do not telescope CS16 into the core by
pushing it from one end; this will cause voids in the bond. Instead,
it should be inserted all along the span at one time. Use nails to
hold everything in place while it cures (see AILERON CONSTRUCTION),
and verify that both ends of CS16 are flush with the ends of the
elevator foam cores.
.....
The elevator lamination is 2 UNI bottom and top at 45 deg. to
the trailing edge, just like the aileron. Measure the elevator foam
cores and then cut the UNI cloth to the proper size. More than one
piece of UNI will be required to cover the entire 72" elevator span.
Where the UNI pieces join, no overlap is needed, (i.e. butt joint is
OK) but stagger the joints on Ply #2 so that the foam along the butt
joint line is covered. Lay up these plies exactly like you did on the
ailerons. Don't forget the foam scraps in the end of CSI6. Do not
trim the trailing edge until after the elevators are mounted on the
canard.
