Parts

BUILDING
TIP:
The
wires
from
the
rudder
and
elevator
servos
will
be
concealed
neatly
under
the
fuselage
side
braces.
1)
Lay
the
left
long
3mm
EPP
gusset
along
the
upper
fuselage
sides
aligning
the
front
of
the
gusset
with
the
front
of
the
fuselage.
Aim
for
a
45
degree
angle
between
vertical
and
horizontal
fuselages.
Trim
excess
gusset
in
line
with
the
elevator
hinge.
You
also
will
notice
that
your
rudder
servo
horn
doesn't
clear
the
gusset.
You
will
need
to
cut
an
approximately
1"
long
by
.5"
tall
window
in
the
gusset
for
the
horn
to
clear
fully.
Once
satisfied
with
the
fit,
use
foam
glue
and
t
‐
pins
to
secure
the
gusset
until
the
glue
is
cured.
You
can
now
connect
the
rudder
control
rod
to
the
servo.
You
will
want
to
bend
the
control
rod
as
shown
in
the
bottom
right
photo.

2)
Repeat
the
same
steps
for
the
right
long
gusset,
but
do
not
cut
the
window
since
there
isn't
a
servo
on
that
side.
3)
Repeat
the
installation
process
with
the
small
gussets
on
the
underside
of
the
assembly,
aligned
to
the
front
of
the
fuselage.
