Pull the slack out of the cables and make sure the cables
cross once inside the fuselage. Connect the ball links to
the rudder control horn. Use a hole spacing that closely
matches the rudder control horn. (Using a 2mm tap to
cut threads into the servo control horn produces the best
connection.)
Center the rudder in position aligned to the vertical
stabilizer. Clamp a couple of balsa sticks across the
rudder hinge to keep it centered.
Repeat the cable eye installation process on the rudder
end of the cables with the servo powered up and
centered. Pull the cable snug. You don’t need to make
the cable “guitar string” tight.
Remove the clamps and adjust the cable lengths to center
the rudder by turning the cable eyes into the ball links.
Elevator
The elevators are pre-hinged but are not glued.
Slip each of the aileron hinges into the wing.
Apply a piece of tape next to each hinge.
Align the end of the elevator to the wing tip.
Close the gap at the hinge line.
Flex slightly and apply a few drops of thin CA glue.
Trim away the covering over the slot on the bottom side
of the horizontal stabilizer.
Glue the elevator control horn in place using the same
process used to glue the ailerons in position.
