and bolt the tailplane to them and then unbolt,
carefuly remoiving the tailplane without disturbing
the blocks. You can then attach the holding piece to
both blocks with a few drops of cyano. Make sure
you do not get any cyano in the threads of the
bearing blocks.
It is advisable at this point to fit the “bacon slicers”
to the tailplane. These are not functional in any way
on the model but are a scale feature and enhance
the looks of the aircraft. Assemble the parts
provided by gluing the 2 smaller side pieces for
each unit to the top half as shown in figure 20.
Temporarily fix the tailplane in place on the aircraft
and then tack the top and bottom half of the “bacon
slicers” to the central tailplane block with cyano
ensuring that there is no binding against the
fuselage. Install the top hatch and again check there
is no binding in this area. When you are happy with
the position fix in place permanently with hysol or
similar.
Secure the tailplane assembly to the bearing blocks
using the 4 of M4 x 35mm allen bolts with washers.
To attach the taiplane assembly to the elevator pushrod
use the M4 x 20mm allen bolt with nylock using a total of 4 washers - one each side of the rose
joint on the pushrod and one each at the outer nut and bolt end. For ease of mounting and
dismounting you can cyno the inner washers to the glass uprights. Make sure before each flying
session that all bolts are suitable tight and there is no binding in the mechanism.
Elevator servos
The elevator servos are mounted in the top of the
rear fuselage just behind the canopy opening.
CARF Models recommend each servo to be at least
25kg of torque. We have used 2 x JR8711 servos
fitted with 1.25 inch aluminium servo horns. Nylon
or plastic servo horns must not be used here.
Installation is very simple using 4 of 2.9 x 13 sheet
metal screws supplied for each servo. Using the two
