Connect the Control Horns 
 

    

 

Carefully select the mounting area for each control horn.  The horn should be in line with the control rod 
coming from the servo arm and also align with the hinge of the control surface.  Take care to slot straight 
through the surface and slip the horns into the slot you just made.   

   

Glue them in with Thin CA.  Do not use accelerator.

Use hook and loop material to hold your receiver and electronic speed control under the wing as shown 
below.
