minute epoxy. The slow drying time will give you the time to make the alignment measurements again 
and get the stab on straight.  

2. Locate the elevator halves, elevator connecter piece and CA hinges. Starting with the elevator half that 
will be on the elevator servo side, locate the control horn opening and remove covering and glue in carbon 
fiber servo horn with CA. Now trail fit the CA hinges into the slots in the elevator half and stab. Center 
the CA hinges and glue into the elevator half. Remove some of the covering on the elevator connector 
piece to get a good glue joint and glue in place. Trail fit the CA hinges into the stab and position the 
elevator half, don’t glue hinges into stab just yet. Glue CA hinges into remaining elevator half . Trail fit 
the CA hinges into the stab and align the elevators to the stab. Once satisfied with the fit, glue hinges into 
the stab with thin CA. Also, glue the other elevator half into the connector piece. This completes the 
installation of the stab and elevators. NOTE: Some flyers may choice to put two elevator servos in the 
tail, one on each elevator side. If you choice this method, then mount the rudder servo under the canopy. 

3.  Use your radio to set the servo center position and install the control horn onto the servo.  Assemble 
the control rod and ball links and adjust the control linkage for proper geometry.  When satisfied, screw 
the ball link to the servo horn in the elevator and servo arm on servo.  The servo arm should be as close to 
perpendicular to the control rod as possible while the elevator is at neutral.  Double check all screws, bolts 
and nuts to assure proper installation and operation without binding. 

 

 

 

 

WING AND AILERON CONTROLS ASSEMBLY:   

1.  Locate both wing panels and ailerons and CA hinges. Trail fit the CA hinges into the aileron and wing 
and put together for fit. Once satisfied, remove aileron and center and glue the CA hinges with thin CA 
into the aileron. Once the hinges are dry, then glue aileron to wing. Repeat with other wing panel. If you 
want to use the supplied Side Force Generators, then locate the slots on the top and bottom of the wing tip 
and remove covering. Locate the two holes in the wing tip and remove covering.   

2.  Locate and cut the covering from the aileron servo horn opening slots.  from corner to corner and iron 
down inside the openings.  Feed the servo wires into the wing and out the root.  Install the servos and 
screw firmly in place. 

 

 

3.  Use your radio to set the centers of each servo and then assemble and adjust the length of each control 
rod.  The servo arm should be as close to perpendicular to the control rod as possible while the aileron is 
at neutral. Double check all screws, bolts and nuts to assure proper installation and operation without 
binding. 

 

 

7.  Check the final radio operation of the ailerons and make sure there is no binding or servo fighting of 
each other.  Also check to make sure all linkage bolts and nuts are secure. 

 

 

FINAL RADIO SYSTEM INSTALLATION: 

1.  Whether you use 72 MHz systems or the 2.4 GHz systems, proper radio installation and care is vital to 
the safe and reliable operation of your aircraft.  Follow the manufacturer’s instruction for installation 
guidance of receiver and battery paying attention to factors such as adequate cooling, and clearances.
