16. Center the elevator servo arm and the elevator. Apply
a drop of threadlocker on a 3 x 5 mm machine screw. Install
the machine screw in the quick connector on the elevator
servo arm and tighten it against the elevator cable. Trim off
the excess cable.
FINISH THE SAILPLANE
1. Use 6-minute epoxy to glue the nylon tail skid on the aft
bottom of the fuselage.
2. Remove the covering from over the wing dowel holes.
Center the wing dowels in the fuselage. Use thin CA to glue
them in position.
CANOPY INSTALLATION
1. Paint the cockpit with the color scheme of your choice.
Test the paint on a piece of plastic that was cut off of the
cockpit to make sure it will not affect the plastic. RC car
paints usually work well for this. Do not paint the edges of
the cockpit where the canopy will attach or the glue will not
hold as well. After the canopy is glued on, the canopy frame
decal will cover the glue joint. After the paint has dried, apply
the instrument decal to the instrument panel.
2. Using a needle nose pliers, open the eyelet slightly
so that a rubberband can be installed on the eyelet. Thread
each eyelet into the round plywood doubler until it just starts
to come out the back.
3. Use medium CA to glue one of the eyelets to the bottom
of the fuselage between the receiver and receiver battery. Glue
the second eyelet on the bottom of the cockpit aligned with
the eyelet in the fuselage. After the CA has hardened, thread
the eyelets in three or four turns more.
