2. Install the propeller and spinner. Gasoline engines are very powerful and can
cause damage to persons or property if propellers and spinners are not installed
properly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and make sure your propellers
are well balanced, properly drilled, and display no cracks or chips.
HORIZONTAL STABILIZER AND ELEVATOR CONTROLS ASSEMBLY:
1. Locate the one piece stabilizer. Slide it in the stabilizer cutout in the back of the
fuselage and center it. To ensure squareness of the assembly, measure the
distance of the trailing tip of the wing to the trailing tip of the stabilizer on both
sides. Make sure that they are equal. Once this is done, mark the area where the
stabilizer meets the fuselage with a fine marker. Remove the stabilizer from the
fuselage and carefully cut the covering off.
2. Locate the elevator couplers and prepare to place it in the fuselage along with
the stabilizer.
3. Prepare some 30 minute epoxy. Have some paper towels soaked in isopropyl
alcohol to wipe off the excess epoxy. Apply the epoxy over the expose area of
the stabilizer and reinstall the stabilizer onto the fuselage. Wipe off the excess
epoxy. Redo the measurement to ensure the squareness and center of the
stabilizer. Set it aside and let to allow the glue to dry.
4. Locate and prepare the CA-hinges for installing the elevators onto the stabilizer.
Ensure that the two halves travel equally when using the elevator coupler. Once
all is checked for correctness, harden the holes where the coupler inserts into
the elevator with thin CA to harden the wood. Employ the same method that was
used to install the rudder.
5. Locate the pushrod and install it in the same manner as was installed in the
rudder.
WING AND AILERON CONTROLS ASSEMBLY:
1. Locate the 3 pieces of the wing and joiners.
