With the C517 hinge mounted on the elevator up against the end of
the QC5M2 pivot, and with the elevator in position in the elevator slot
foam core, you can mark on the elevator slot foam core where the 2 C518
inserts must go. Next, route out the foam in the elevator slot foam core
in preparation for later bonding of the C518 inserts in place. Any
excess foam removed can be filled in later with flox during assembly.
.....
Now, let's carefully review how the elevator is removed from the
midspan elevator pivot. The elevator is moved inboard, resting on the
QC5M3 stud, at least!" until it falls off the QC5M3 stud. During this
movement, the C517 hinge remains where it was, since it was permanently
attached to the canard (between a sandwich of C518 inserts) during
assembly.

Do you understand? Good, read the above explanation again two times
until it is indelibly etched in your memory.
.....
Now you are ready to do the same thing for the right elevator.
Remember that the QC5M2 pivot assembly, complete with QC5M3 stud, must
be pushed into the C516 elevator torque tube with the stud pointing
OUTBOARD. (A mirror image of what you have already done). Be very
careful in setting up the right madspan elevator pivot assembly, and
verify that it, too, will function as described in the paragraph above.

It may seem that we are spending too much time on this setup, but
it is the "voice of experience speaking".
