1) Using a modeling knife, remove the cover-
ing from over the two predrilled holes in the middle
of the stabilizer and from the slot in the stabilizer's
leading edge. One hole is located 1-1/2” in front of
the trailing edge and the second hole is located 3” in
front of the trailing edge. See photo # 8 below.

2) Using a modeling knife, remove the cover-
ing from over the two predrilled holes in the top of
the stabilizer mounting platform. One hole is located
1-1/2” in front of the rear edge of the fuselage and
the second hole is located 3” in front of the rear edge
of the fuselage. See photo # 9 below.

3) Using a modeling knife, remove the cover-
ing from over the two predrilled holes in the bottom
of the fuselage. The holes are located directly below
the two predrilled holes in the stabilizer mounting
platform.
❑
4) Using a modeling knife, remove the cover-
ing from over the elevator and rudder pushrod exit
slots in the fuselage sides. One slot is located on
each side of the fuselage, 2-5/8” in front of the back
edge of the fuselage and 1/2” below the top of the
stabilizer mounting platform.
❑
5) Working with one 1.5mm x 500mm pushrod
wire for now, insert the Z-bend into the third hole
out from the base of the elevator control horn. Ori-
entate the pushrod wire so that the longer portion of
the wire faces toward the center of the stabilizer. See
photo # 10 below.
❑
6) Turn the stabilizer right side up and carefully
insert the plain end of the elevator pushrod wire into
the slot in the right side of the fuselage.
❑
7) Carefully push the stabilizer into place until
it rests on top of the stabilizer mounting platform.
☛
While pushing the stabilizer into place be care-
ful not to bend the elevator pushrod wire. When the
stabilizer is in place you will notice that the plain
end of the pushrod wire is visible inside the servo
compartment.
MOUNTING THE STABILIZERS
❑
8) Uninstall the nylon rudder control horn us-
ing a # 1 phillips screwdriver to remove the two
machine screws. Set the control horn, backplate and
screws aside for now.
❑
9) Align the two threaded steel rods in the ver-
tical stabilizer with the two predrilled holes in the
top of the horizontal stabilizer.
