10) Carefully push the vertical stabilizer down
until the two threaded rods exit the two holes in the
bottom of the fuselage. To make sure the stabilizers
are seated properly, firmly push down on the vertical
stabilizer, making sure the tab in the front of the ver-
tical stabilizer fits firmly into the notch in the
horizontal stabilizer. See photo # 11 below.
❑
11) Turn the fuselage upside down. Slide one
2mm flat washer over each threaded rod, then thread
one 2mm hex nut onto each threaded rod. Tighten
the hex nuts firmly, using needle nose pliers to se-
cure the stabilizers in place. See photo # 12 below.

CHECKING THE ALIGNMENT
❑
12) Install the wing and bolt it securely into
place using a large flat blade screwdriver. Now check
to ensure that the horizontal stabilizer is aligned with
the wing. When viewed from the front, the horizon-
tal stabilizer should be level with the wing. See
figure # 3 below.
Figure # 3
☛
If the stabilizer is not level with the wing, loosen
the two hex nuts and carefully slide a thin shim un-
der the low side of the stabilizer. Retighten the hex
nuts and check the alignment once more. Repeat this
procedure until you are satisfied that the alignment
is correct.

INSTALLING THE RUDDER PUSHROD
❑
13) Working with the second 1.5mm x 500mm
pushrod wire, insert the Z-bend into the fourth hole
out from the base of the control horn that you re-
moved from the rudder earlier. Orientate the pushrod
wire so that the longer portion of the wire faces the
right side of the control horn. See photo # 13 below.

❑
14) Carefully insert the plain end of the rudder
pushrod wire into the slot in the left side of the fuse-
lage. Slide the wire in until the control horn lines up
with the predrilled holes in the rudder.
❑
15) Reinstall the control horn to the rudder using
the two machine screws and the nylon backplate you
removed earlier. Tighten the machine screws using a
# 1 phillips screwdriver. See photo # 14 below.

☛
Be careful not to overtighten the screws. You
don't want to crush the wood.
☛
Note that the longer portion of the pushrod wire
should come out on the top side of the control horn.
