E-flite F-86 Sabre 15 DF ARF Assembly Manual
Do not enlarge the holes in the fuselage rails
as some are used for the hatch alignment.
9. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread the servo
mounting screw into the four holes for mounting the
elevator servo.
10. Place 2–3 drops of thin CA in each hole to
harden the surrounding wood. This will harden the
wood, making the screws more secure.
11. Secure the elevator servo in the fuselage using
the screws provided with the servo and a #1
Phillips screwdriver.
12. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove
the covering to expose the holes to mount the
elevator control horn. Use care not to poke through
the hole to the top of the elevator.
13. Use side cutters to trim the pins on the control
horn to a length of 3/32-inch (2mm) so they don’t
extend through the top of the elevator.
14. Position the horn on the elevator. Use a felt-tipped
pen to trace the outline of the horn on the elevator.
