8.
Using 5-minute
epoxy, secure the
horizontal stab. into
its slot at the rear of
the fuselage; before
this epoxy thickens,
make sure that the
horizontal stabilizer
is aligned
at right
angles to the fuselage by measuring the distance between the outside rear
bolts on the landing gear and the outside end of each half of the horizontal
stabilizer – and adjust the horizontal stabilizer so this distance is the same
on both sides of the fuselage.
9.
Insert the elevator’s CA hinges in their precut
slots and test fit the elevator to the horizontal
stabilizer. Mark where a small
notch
must be
cut in the center-front of
the elevator
to clear
the tail wheel strut’s wire, and cut this
required notch.
Secure the elevator
to the horizontal
stabilizer by applying thin CA adhesive to
each of the elevator’s CA hinges.
10.
Position the pushrod-openings in the control horns directly over the hinge lines and
drill holes
in the
rudder and elevator for the control horn mounting bolts. Attach one control horn to the rudder and one
control horn to the elevator. (Note: If you setup the elevator to be driven by two servos, remove the
covering material from the precut servo opening in the top of the fuselage directly in front of the rudder,
and mount your rudder servo in this ‘extra’ servo-mounting opening.)
11.
Connect a
12-inch servo-wire extension
to each of your rudder and elevator servos.
(Note: To ensure the security of your servo extension connections, we recommend you
install an optional “servo extension safety clip” at each servo wire/extension junction.)
12.
Guide the servo extensions through the rudder and elevator servo openings and into the fuselage, then secure
the ends of the extensions inside the fuselage on the radio receiver’s tray with a piece of masking tape.
13.
Using your servos’ hardware, mount your
elevator and rud-
der servos
in their openings. Using the preformed Z-bends
and the supplied clevises,
attach the 8-inch long
pushrods
as shown.
(Notes: The appearance of
control horns may vary;
For sport-flying, setup all
control surfaces for
maximum deflection.)
14.
Connect a
12-inch servo-wire extension
to each of your aileron servos. Secure each connection with an
optional “servo extension safety clip” and use masking tape and the provided string to pull each servo
extension through its wing panel and out the hole near the wing root.
