Connect the rudder horn (15) to the pre-formed end of the pushrod, then glue the
horn in the slot in the rudder. Install the elevator pushrod (18) in the same way, then
place the tailplane (20) on the fin and secure it with the countersunk plastic screw
(22). Tip: if you are a beginner to model flying, connect the pushrods to the outer
holes in the rudder and elevator horns in order to obtain small control surface travels.
If you prefer more marked control response, use the inner holes in the horns, as
shown in the photographs.
Set the rudder and elevator to centre, then tighten the clamping screws (9) in the
swivel connectors. Hold the connector barrel tightly in a pair of flat-nose pliers while
you do this.
The wing
Glue the spar channel covers (24) and (26) in the wing panels as shown, but do not
use activator spray for these joints. Leave the glue to set hard for several hours
before sliding the CFRP spar (27) into the channels, to eliminate the possibility of it
becoming stuck permanently in the wing.
Push the right-hand wing panel into the side of the fuselage, then slide the CFRP
spar into place, followed by the left-hand wing panel. Tip: squeeze together the
projecting lugs at the root of the left-hand wing panel, as this makes it easier to
engage the wing retainer system.
