Extreme Flight slick 580 exp, Assembly Instructions Manual, Page: 6 / 14

Attach a servo wire extension onto your elevator
servo and secure it with a connector lock or tape.
We recommend a 24” (60 cm) extension for the
elevator servo. Install the servo into the fuselage. We
recommend Extreme Flight RC socket head servo
screws.
The Slick features hooks to secure your servo lead
in the fuselage.
Test fit your horizontal stabilizer assembly into the
fuselage. Check for fit. Note how much force it takes
to slide the stab all the way forward into the slot un-
til it contacts the front of the cutout. Make sure your
stab is correct side up.
Apply 30 minute epoxy glue to the bare wood area
of the stabilizer, top and bottom, and into the slot in
the fuselage.
Slide the atabilizer into the slot. Make sure your stab
is correct side up. Push it all the way to the forward
end of the slot as shown. Clean any excess epoxy
with alcohol and a rag. Allow the epoxy to cure.
Locate the balsa block you previously removed
from the tail. Slide it into position. Make certain the
elevator swings freely without interference from
the block. The block is soft balsa, it can easily be
trimmed or sanded to correct any interference.
Once you are satisfied with its fit, glue it in place
with epoxy or CA glue.

Locate the rudder and rudder hardware pack. the
rudder hinges will be installed into the fuselage and
rudder using the exact same technique you em-
ployed to install the elevator hinges in step 4. Once
the rudder is installed, allow the epoxy to cure.
Measure 2 inches (50mm) back form the rudder
hinge line as shown, and drill a 1/8” (3mm) hole in
the bottom of the rudder.
