Attaching your control horns. Don’t glue anything until you sort out your control system. If using a
brick type receiver you will have set elevator and rudder on specific sides and your control horns
will need to match up with that configuration. Also, you may need to reverse servo directions and
for that you will need a programmable transmitter. If using servos. You can easily change side
and direction.
Glue the control horns in place but in either case remember that you must have the control horn
for the elevator on the upper surface. For now, there is no upper and lower surface on the tail-
plane. But this will be important in the next step.
Also remember that if you are going to attach the War Decals to the vertical stabiliser then it
would be best to stick them on now before gluing in the control horn onto the fin.
Preparing the tail skid.
Next cut this piece off the tail skid. This piece is not
needed in setups which use elevator control. Its purpose
is to hold the elevator stable if the model is being set up
with just rudder and throttle control. However, we
suggest you use both rudder and elevator for control on
this model.
Glue the tail mount pieces together as shown below and then attach them to the the tailplane.
Remember that the elevator control horn is on the upper surface (the opposite side to the tail
mount). Also ensure that there is no glue obstructing the round holes where the carbon body
former slides in.
