not interfere with the elevator movement, or bond 

the elevator to the shear web. If you previously 

removed the top and bottom canard skin where the 

slot was ground out, be sure to laminate 2 BID top 

and bottom once the laminations have cured. . The 

above procedures are used with both elevators. 

8.

Once the laminations and installation have cured, 

you are ready to drill in the elevator assemblies. 

Find your elevator rigging template! reassemble 

every thing, and set the elevators at 0 degrees. 

Also, verify that each elevator is pushed outboard 

against CS19. Verify that both Q2CSA8 and CS20 

overlap into the elevator reducers a minimum of 

1.8", and that both are pushed up tight onto the 

universal joint. Now drill in very carefully the 

four bolts that fasten Q2CSA8, CS20, universal 

joint, and CS16/ elevator reducer together. BE 

CAREFUL! Don't let the holes elongate; use a small 

drill and work up in size. Also, be absolutely 

sure that each elevator is at the same angle (i.e. 

no asymmetry) and that full elevator deflection is 

available without any interference any where in 

the system. 

9.

Finally, make the elevator spacers, which have a 

nominal length of 1.0" each. The actual length 

should be sized to allow the elevator to have a 

lateral freeplay (i.e. inboard to outboard) of 

about 0.05". Assemble each elevator, and again 

check for binding, misalignment, or excessive 

freeplay.
