Required Parts

• Stabilizer assembly 

• Fuselage

• Rudder assembly

Required Tools and Adhesives

• Crescent wrench 

• Threadlock

• 4-40 lock nut (2) 

• #4 washer (2)

 Step 1

Loosen the nuts on the bottom of the fuselage that are 

holding the rudder/fin assembly onto the fuselage. Pull 

the rudder/fin assembly straight up to remove from the 

fuselage. Use care not to damage the lower portion of the 

fin or the fuselage fairing.

 Step 2

Locate the stabilizer/elevator assembly. Position the 

stabilizer/elevator assembly so the control horn will face 

down, away from the fin. The threaded rods from the 

rudder/fin assembly will slide into the two holes in the 

stabilizer. The fuselage fairing has been slid into position 

on the fin in the photograph.

 Step 3

Slide the rudder/stabilizer assembly onto the fuselage. 

Slide the #4 washers onto the threaded rods. Apply a drop 

or two of threadlock to the exposed threads of the threaded 

rods. Thread the nuts onto the rod, tightening them snugly 

against the bottom of the fuselage.
