STEP D
STAB AND ELEVATOR ASSEMBLY
1) Locate the pre cut hinge slots in the stab and elevator. The model comes with CA style
hinges pre installed, but not glued into the control surfaces. If you wish to use the CA hinges
we recommend adding hinges to each surface and use thin
foam safe CA when gluing in
hinges. We have used the CA type hinges with no problems, however we highly encourage
the builder to use the nylon pinned style hinge, such as the Klett ¼ scale. Check surfaces for
alignment and glue hinges into the control surfaces. We recommend using slow set epoxy or
hinge glue. Be certain to give yourself plenty of elevator throw. Recommended throw is 45
degrees minimum up and down. We recommend sealing all surfaces with Ultracote.
2) Locate servo location on bottom side of stabs and cut away covering. (One per stab) Using
the pre installed nylon servo wire attachment string, pull servo leads through stab. You want
to have the male end of the servo extension hanging out the stab and the female end hanging
out from the fuse. This will enable you to remove the stabs easily when necessary. It works
best to run one elevator servo extension into the elevator port of the receiver and the other
into an Aux port of the receiver designated by your radio manufacture. If you do not have a
radio capable of splitting the elevators into two different channels, it is possible to reverse
one servo and use the same port or channel in the receiver. There are after market servo
reverses that work well. Install servo into stabs. It is important to secure the servo
connectors with tape, wire or after market clip to be certain the leads do not disconnect.
3)
Locate hardwood blocks pre installed in the elevators. Drill and tap block for control horn
locations for a 8/32 bolt. Install the control horns so your linkage will be 90 degrees to the
servo arm. We recommend using the Nelson control horn assembly #RCL70.
Seal all hinge gaps

DO NOT counter
sink bolt head.
Use flush mount
bolt
4) When setting up the servo linkage we recommend using 4-40 rod with a silver solder clevis.
It is very important to have all control linkages 90 degrees to the control surface and servo
arm. If more throw is required then the silver solder clevis will enable, then we recommend
using a du-bro swivel ball link at the servo arm for more movement.
