I had to be getting closer…right? After I realised I had to remove the jigs to check the down elevator I cleaned off the glue residue and used weights instead for the rest of the setting up. Much more efficient. I tried a few different ways of holding the hinges in place too.

Several times I cleaned the 5mt glue out of the slots so I could have a fresh go of setting the elevators. For some reason I was having a LOT of trouble getting the required elevator range and canard cove or slot gap at the same time. None of this was a discussion, I just had to get it right somehow.

I guess today is not the day I get it done, but I was getting closer than when I started and understanding what was required was in the bag… I just needed to do it.
