Micro Star 1000

The tail boom braces - also in bag “G” - are fitted with a ball-link at one end; the M2 x 14 screws 
which secure the horizontal stabiliser pass through these ball-links and into the clamp, as shown 
in Fig. 23. At the front the braces are secured with M3 x 15 screws; these are first fitted through 
the hole in the brace, then through the plastic spacer sleeve and the chassis; tighten the screw 
against a self-locking nut on the inside.
