Above: servos position, servo arms, horns and elevators commands with Dubro 4-40 Heavy Duty ball links
fixed on horns with 4-40 screws and parlock nuts.
IMPORTANT: even using parlock nuts it is necessary to apply thread locker on the screws.
To assemble the two halves of the stabilizer in the fuselage, an
carbon fiber tube with an external diameter
of 19.05mm (3/4
”) x 1mm thickness x
570mm length
is used. The stabilizer assembly is pre-adjusted at the
factory and the carbon fiber tube must be drilLED on both sides for fixation and removal with 2 self-attacking
screws 2.2mm x 13mm (supplied with the kit). Insert the tube into the fuselage until it is centered, aligning the
holes vertically. The stabilizer halves roots have 2 holes, the front through which the tube should be inserted
and the rear, to allow passage of the elevators servo extensions into the fuselage. At the rear there is a
hardwood pin to align the stabilizer halves at their correct angle of incidence (0 degrees). The drawing below
shows the position of the 2 holes and pin. Insert the stabilizer halves. Check that the roots of the stabilizer are
perfectly aligned with the shape of the stabilizer in the fuselage. If necessary, adjust the pin to ensure that
perfect horizontal alignment and tight fit in the fuselage. At the front of the stabilizer´s fins on both sides there
are 2 guides that must be inserted in the slots already made at the factory in the fuselage. The 2 guides
guarantee the correct horizontal alignment of the fins and do not require gluing or fixing.
With the stabilizer halves fully inserted and in the correct position, drill a hole with a drill and 2mm drill bit
at the bottom of the stabilizer halves, where there is a circle that reproduces an aircraft inspection cover. Insert
the screws and tighten them until they are firm. We recommend using a medium-grade (removable) thread
lock.
