Use shrink tube and thin CA to mount one Z-bend onto the carbon rod. When set, install the Z-bend
into the control horn on the elevator.
Next, slide 3 pushrod guides onto the carbon rod.
Mark the spot where the other Z-bend will need to be for it to line up with the hole on the servo arm.
Install the second Z-bend onto the pushrod with shrink tube, but (for now) skip the thin CA.
Remove the servo arm and install it on the Z-bend then remount the arm on the servo in the same
centred position it was before. If needed you can pull the Z-bend out of the shrink tube slightly or adjust
as needed.
Lock in the second Z-bend with a few drops of thin CA on both ends of the shrink.
Finally, use a small dab of glue on the tip of each pushrod guide to install them into the precut holes on
the underside of the fuselage. The elevator pushrod runs down the side opposite to the tail rotor
motor's mount.
Glue the top fuse onto the Horizontal parts
IMPORTANT: Do NOT apply any glue to the tail rotor section that will be removed.
Flip the plane over and using two equal height boxes / stands lay the plane with the bottom fuse
between the boxes. This will give you a nice horizontal surface to work with to glue the top fuse onto
the airframe.
Use the foam templates (B and C) and the supplied motor mount to ensure the nose and top portion of
the fuselage are properly lined up and snug. Once you have test fitted apply some Foam Tac / similar
flexible glue and glue the top fuse to the plane.
NOTE: Ensure the chamfered edges of the tail meet AND the nose meets and is square.
Glue the rudder onto the fuse
Using the same Foam-Tac hinge technique used for the ailerons (only without being able to lay it on a
flat surface) glue on the rudder. Use as thin a bead of Foam-Tac as you can, but ensure complete
coverage.
Once set the rudder should move freely from left to right with no warping of the vertical fuse/stab
portions.
NOTE: If needed, you can use a straight edge / ruler to support the hinge point of the rudder with one
hand while you manipulate the rudder with the other. Either pull the ruler off after the rudder is aligned
or wrap the ruler in wax paper first and leave until the glue is set (a minute or so).
Install the Tail Rotor
Now the moment you've been waiting for!
Remove Tail Rotor Foam
Carefully remove the tail rotor section's foam. It is pre-cut with tabs left that need to be sliced to free up
those parts of the foam
Install Tail Rotor Motor Mount
