Install the steering spring according to the package instructions.
We’ve found that by adding a second anchoring point near the
coil spring will significantly improve the responsiveness of tail
wheel steering (see photo). As illustrated we used a piece of
scrap nylon strap and two sheet metal screws to accomplish this.

Canopy 1
Canopy Hatch
1
Canopy has been pre-trimmed to size. Simply position the
canopy over the hatch and align it to the recessed layout. Once
you are satisfied with the position, glue it to hatch cover with
adhesive such as RC56, Zap-A-Gap-A-Goo or Liquid Nail.
These types of adhesive give you ample time to work with
positioning the canopy, yet once hardened any excess can be
easily trimmed off with a sharp blade.

EFP Control Horn

Start with installation of the rudder control horns first as it is
easier to mount them prior to hinging the rudder.
Familiarize yourself with all the steps BEFORE proceeding.
1. Refer to photos on the right. Use your fingers to feel for a
13mm x 2mm
slot covered under the white Ultracote
situated in the left low corner of the rudder. There is one
on each side of the rudder. These are slots for your left
and right rudder control horns.
2. Use a Xacto blade to puncture the covering material and
expose the slot. Slit the covering to the length of the slot.
3. Now use your Xactor blade and cut into the balsa core to
deepen the slot. Your goal is to create a through slot from
one side of the rudder to the other. Cut a little bit at a time
