covering approximately 1/16" inside each of these two lines.

9) Mix a small amount of 30-minute epoxy glue. Lightly coat
the bottom surface of the fin and the locating stubs. Apply a small
amount of glue to the exposed wood on the top of the stabilizer
and fuselage. Carefully set the fin/rudder assembly in place onto
the fuselage and stabilizer. Use a small square to set the fin at 90
O
to the stabilizer. Hold the fin in this position with a length of tape
extending from one stabilizer tip, over the top of the fin and to the
opposite stabilizer tip. View the model from the front or rear to
make sure it is visually perpendicular to the fuselage, wing, and
stabilizer. Make any required adjustments and allow the glue to
fully cure. Any excess glue can be easily removed with a paper
towel and a little rubbing alcohol. After the glue has cured, remove
the wing from the fuselage
PUSHROD ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION:
From the kit contents, locate the following parts:
1 each
3/8" x 15-3/4" (40 mm x 400 mm) Heat shrink
tubing
1 each
5/16" dia. x 23-5/8" (8 mm dia. x 600 mm) Elevator
pushrod dowel
1 each
5/16" dia. x 17" (8 mm dia. x 432 mm) Rudder
pushrod dowel
1 each
2.6 mm x 200 mm rod threaded M2 on one end
with an M2 nut and RC link and a 90
O
bend at the
opposite end.
1 each
2.6 mm x 110 mm rod threaded M2 on one end
with an M2 nut and RC link and a 90
O
bend at the
opposite end.
2 each
2.6 mm x 100 mm rods threaded M2 on one end
with an M2 nut and RC link and a 90
O
bend at the
opposite end.
❑
1) The rudder pushrod assembly is made first. This pushrod
will require the 17" wood dowel, the 200 mm threaded one end
wire pushrod and one of the 100 mm wire pushrods with an RC
link at one end. Note that the 17" wood pushrod is grooved and
drilled at each end. These grooves are there to locate and nest the
wire pushrods at each end. Also, note the 90
O
bends in the wire
pushrods, made to fit into the pre-drilled holes in the wood
pushrod.
❑
2) Use 5-minute epoxy to glue the short 90
O
bent ends of each
pushrod wire into the grooves and drilled holes on each end of the
17" wood pushrod dowel.
When the glue has cured, cut two 2" lengths of heat shrink tubing
from the supplied material. Slip a piece of heat shrink tubing over
the glued wire at one end of the wood pushrod and use a heat gun
