Install and center the main wing tube. Look at the plane
from the back forward to make sure that the horizontal
stabilizer is parallel with the wing tube. Notice that the
horizontal stabilizer is tapered which may obscure the
actual alignment. If the stabilizer is not aligned use shims
or sand inside the pocket until
it’s parallel.
Push the horizontal stabilizer all the way forward in the
pocket. Position the stabilizer parallel to the main wing
tube. Adjust the stabilizer until the measurements to the
wing tube are equal on both sides. Continue checking the
stabilizer to ensure it is still centered as described above.
Extra time spent here will go a long way to improve the
flight characteristics of your airplane.
Once the horizontal stabilizer is positioned glue it in place
with thin CA glue. Wick glue in on both sides, top and
bottom. The use of an applicator tip is suggested to
control the flow of thin CA and get it exactly where you
want it.
Elevator
The hardware provided may be used to control elevator
halves with 1 or 2 servos.
Before you cut any covering on the elevator make sure
you have the correct half. If you cut open the servo
pocket in the left of the fuselage make sure you are
working with the left elevator.
Install the elevator control horn using the same process
as you did when assembling the ailerons.
Use a covering sealing iron to bond the covering in the
area the control horn will sit. Trim the covering away to
expose the slots.
Test fit the control horn halves in the slot individually,
then as an assembly. The fit should be snug.
Check the alignment of the control horn to the hinge
center line as you did with the wing. The linkage hole in
the control horn should be aligned with the hinge
centerline.
