Make sure you have two opposite wings and not
two left or right wings.
We recommend UHU Hart Glue (
Lay out your tail-plane pieces and work out which
side the control horns will need to go on.
You will need to connect up your receiver and
servos if using independent servos and look at
which side the elevator and rudder are on.
Remember that the pushrods will be on the upper
surface of the tail-plane.
The kit comes with a pack of tape hinges as shown
on the right below. These are stuck in place on the
tail surfaces. Don’t stick them where the wood is
joined – stick them over the gaps in the wood. Use
three for the elevator – one on each side toward
the tip and one on the inner part near the hinge.
Use the other two for the vertical stabilizer. Use a
hobby knife to separate the sticker from the paper,
and use tweesers or the blade of a hobby knife to
fit them in place instead of trying to do it with your
fingers.
Glue the vertical stabilizer onto the tail-plane and
set aside to dry. You can use two match stick boxes,
one either side of the vertical stabilizer to hold it
vertical while drying.
