STABILIZER ASSEMBLY
To make the empennage easily removable, it has been designed with the servo’s integral to it. This makes
the construction a little more complicated but is well worth the extra effort when removing the stabilizer/
rudder assembly.
c
1 The stabilizer is built over the plans, cover the plans with waxed paper to protect them.
c
2 The stabilizer base (SB) is supplied in two sections that must be assembled. Glue the two SB sections to-
gether. Use thick CA or Epoxy to insure a strong bond.
c
3 Install four #4-40 blind nuts into the holes indicated on the plans into the stabilizer base (SB). Note that
the #4-40 blind nuts will be installed from the top of SB. Use a dab of Epoxy or thick CA to insure that the
blind nuts cannot come loose as once the stabilizer is covered there will be no access to them.
c
4 Study the exploded view drawing of the SB assembly. Refer to the plans for location and using the registra-
tion pins, install and glue the Stabilizer Servo Mount part A (SSMA) to SB, note that there is one on each
side of SB.
