Step 2
Use a 1/16-inch drill bit in a pin vise to drill the
mounting holes. Apply a small drop of thin CA to each
of the holes to strengthen the wood. Allow the CA to
cure without using accelerator.
Step 3
Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to install the hatch with
four #2 x 1/4-inch woodscrews.
Step 4
Invert the fuselage and slide the stabilizer tube into
place. Slide each stabilizer half onto the tube and
connect the servo leads. Engage the alignment pin in
the leading edge and slide the stabilizer into place.
Step 5
Use a 1/16-inch drill bit in a pin vise to drill a hole
through the stabilizer tube at the retaining screw
location on the lower surface of each stabilizer half. Do
not drill all the way through the opposite side of the tube.
Step 6
Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to install a #2 x 1/4-inch
woodscrew in each side to retain the stabilizer halves.
You may choose to apply a small piece of tape over
the screw heads for additional security.
Step 7
Refer to steps 4 and 5 on page 36 to install the wing
struts and wing panels. Before sliding the wings
completely against the fuselage make sure to connect
the wing servos to the receiver.
