2. Hold the stab/fi n assembly into position on the fuselage.
View the alignment of the stab and wing from behind. If the
stab and wing are not parallel with each other, use a sharp
hobby knife to
carefully
trim the “high side” of the stab saddle
to achieve the alignment.
❏
3. Once the stab aligns with the wing, hold the assembly
to the fuselage. Center the LE of the fi n with the top of
the fuselage and the LE of the rudder with the back of the
fuselage. Securely glue the stab into position. Reinforce the
joint by gluing from the bottom up inside the fuselage.
❏
4. As shown in the photo, fi t one of the plywood
control
horns
to the Z-bend on the end of the
elevator pushrod
(already in the fuselage). Fit the horn into the slot in the
bottom
of the elevator. Use a sharp #11 hobby knife to cut
the hinge tape from the slot on the top of the elevator so the
horn will go all the way through.
Note:
If the pushrod is too
long it may be bumping up against the former in the front of
the servo compartment—cut the pushrod if necessary, but
cut only enough to allow the horn to fi t—otherwise you may
inadvertently cut the wire too short.
❏
5. Use foam-safe CA to securely glue the horn into position.
❏
6. Glue the plywood
horn keeper
to the other side of the
horn and to the top of the elevator.
❏
7. Fit the other horn and keeper to the rudder pushrod and
glue them to the rudder the same way.
