11)
Slide the end of the pushrod assembly into the
nylon pushrod housing preinstalled inside the vertical
stabilizer.
❑
12)
Push the elevator/pushrod assembly down until
you are able to insert the hinges into the hinge slots in the
stabilizer.
❑
13)
Slide the elevator and its hinges into the precut
hinge slots in the trailing edge of the stabilizer. Adjust
the elevator so that the tips of the elevator don't rub against
the stabilizer. See photo # 18 below.
❑
14)
While holding the elevator tight against the sta-
bilizer, rotate the elevator down about 45º. Apply 3-4
drops of Kwik Bond Thin C/A to the exposed area of each
hinge. Turn the fuselage over and repeat for the other
side of the hinges. Allow the C/A to dry for about 10
minutes. Once the C/A has dried, the elevator may be
stiff and difficult to move. This is normal. Gently pivot it
up and down about five to ten times to free it up.
❑
15)
Plug the elevator servo lead into the receiver.
Plug the ESC into the receiver and the flight battery into
the ESC . Turn on the radio system and center the servo
using the trim lever on the transmitter.
❑
16) Use a couple of pieces of masking tape, taped
between the horizontal stabilizer and the elevator, to hold
the elevator centered.
❑
17)
Locate a plastic "4-point" servo horn that came
with your servo. Each of the arms should have at least
three holes in it. Using a pair of wire cutters, remove all
but one of the plastic arms.
❑
18)
Using a drill with a 5/64” drill bit, enlarge the
third hole out from the center of the servo horn. Snap one
metal clevis into the enlarged hole.
❑
19) Thread the clevis/servo horn assembly onto the
end of the threaded rod until the servo horn lines up with
the servo output shaft. Attach the servo horn to the out-
put shaft, making sure that the servo horn is centered. See
photo # 19 at top right.

20) When satisfied with the alignment, install and
tighten the servo retaining screw that was provided with
the servo and remove the masking tape from the elevator.

INSTALLING THE ESC, RECEIVER
AND FLIGHT BATTERY
❑
1)
Connect the red and black motor leads from the
ESC to the corresponding leads on the motor. Mount the
ESC on the fuselage floor behind the motor using a strip
of Dubro Hook & Loop Material. See photo # 20 below.
❑
2)
If your ESC is equipped with an on/off switch or
an arming switch, use a modeling knife to cut out the on-off
switch and/or arming switch holes in the left side of the
fuselage, below the canopy.
