struts with a predrilled axle hole into the
opening near the front corner of the lower
wing’s center section. Insert the top end of
the strut into the opening in the bottom-
front corner of the top wing’s center
section. As pictured below, each of these 2

Locate the two longest struts from the bag
marked “

.” Guide the end of each strut
with the predrilled axle hole into the
opening near the rear corner of the lower
wing’s center section. Insert the top end of
the strut into the opening in the bottom-
rear corner of the of the top wing’s center
section. As pictured below, each of these 2
struts extends approx. 3-inches (7.5 cm)
below the surface of the lower wing’s
center section.

Temporarily mount the front elevator onto its hinge bolts. (NOTE: If necessary, see page 13
which shows how to mount the front elevator.)
17.
Compare the front elevator’s angle to the angle of the center sections and the horizontal
stabilizer. If necessary, slightly adjust the depth of the front and/or rear booms in their openings
so the front elevator, center sections and horizontal stabilizer are all parallel to each other.
18.
With all horizontal flying surfaces parallel to each other, use epoxy or thin CA adhesive to secure
the struts and booms to the upper and lower wing’s center sections and the elevator and rudder
servo trays under the horizontal stabilizer to the tail booms. Remove and set aside the front
elevator.
