Install a control horn in both halves of the elevator with the supplied hardware as pictured below.
Insert CA hinges into the elevator’s
precut slots, but do NOT glue these
CA hinges at this time.
Insert CA hinges into slots in the
trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer.
Leave enough space between the
elevators and the horizontal stabilizer
to ensure adequate elevator travel, then
apply CA adhesive to permanently attach the elevators to the horizontal
stabilizer.
Center the elevator servos. While holding the elevators at “neutral,” install the elevator pushrods the
same as you did for the ailerons.
Install the rudder’s control horn on the left side of the rudder
as pictured at the right.
If necessary, cut away any Mylar covering the slot
in the rudder for the tail wheel’s control rod,
then test-fit the tail wheel’s control rod into its slot.
Permanently glue the tail wheel’s control rod into the
rudder.
NOTE: Keep the
tail wheel’s
metal mounting
tab free from
any glue, able to
move freely.
As pictured at the right, insert the rudder’s CA hinges into their slots
in the vertical stabilizer. Leave enough space between the rudder and
vertical stabilizer to ensure adequate rudder travel, then permanently
attach the rudder with thin CA. Use screws to attach the tail wheel’s
metal mounting tab to the bottom of the fuselage. Center the rudder
servo. While holding the rudder at “neutral,” install the rudder’s
pushrod the same as you did for the ailerons and elevators.
If you use an internal combustion
engine, install your fuel tank then
test-fit and mount your engine.
If you use an electric power system,
test-fit and mount your motor and
ESC.
NOTE: We recommend using the
included Maxford USA-designed
Max Cowling “invisible” cowl-attachment system to attach the cowl.
If you do not wish to use the Max Cowling “invisible” system, after
test-fitting the cowl to the nose as explained on the following page, you may attach the cowl by drilling
guide holes and driving screws through the cowl and into the preglued wooden cowl-mounting blocks.
If you use the included the Max Cowling “invisible” system to secure the cowl to the nose, use the
keyhole-shaped openings in the Maxlok mounting ring as a guide to predrill three openings, one in
each of the three front-facing preglued wood cowl-mounting blocks as pictured on the following page.
Reinforce the guide holes with thin CA adhesive and install three wood screws as pictured on the
following page and adjust the screws and position the magnets as instructed below and on page 5 of
this manual.
