Assembly & Operation Manual 

STABILIZERS

 

 
NOTE: 

Make sure to have some sort of protective foam on the work bench. This will 

protect the paint surface from unwanted dents. Assemble both stabilizers simultane-
ously. All linkages are hidden. If you have a transport problem it maybe necessary to 
remove stabilizers for transportation. If not then simply glue stabilizers to fuselage. 
Mark √ each step.  

 

Locate all parts for this section 

 

Fit elevator to stabilizer and mark hinge line. 

 

Cut slot in elevator for pin hinges. (Hinges pivot point 

inside elevator) 

 

Glue 3 pin hinges and secure to stabilizer. Take car 

not to get glue on hinge point.  

 

Locate 2 carbon tubes of equal length. 

 

Make up pushrod of equal length. 

 

Insert wire belcrank into belcrank pipes. 

 

Mark location of belcrank in wire. 

 

Remove and cut 3 flat slots into wire. (Note– 

Belcrank must be fitted as close to side of fuse-
lage. The wire must not be able to move side-
ways. 

 

Secure belcrank to wire by means of 3 cap 

crews. Use loctide.
