STEP 47: Cover all the parts with a lightweight covering film, such as So-Lite. 

Do NOT use heavier films such as MonoKote, UltraCote SolarCote, etc., as the 

shrinkage of these films can damage the lightweight structure of this model. 

They also add a lot more weight, which you absolutely do not want. If you have 

not covered a model before, please read the instructions that come with your 

covering. You'll need to poke a hole in the covering for the fuselage top, for the 

rudder pushrod to go through.

STEP 48: Bend the control rods, as shown on the plans. The ones shown here 

are NOT TO SCALE.

STEP 48: Bend the control rods, as shown on the plans. The ones shown here

STEP 49: Install the DuBro micro 
servo connectors on the servo horns 

and then put the horns onto the 
servos. Install the servos in the 
crutch, as shown on the plan sheet. 

STEP 50: Feed the pushrods 

thourhg the tubes, from the back of 
the plane. Temporarily secure the 
wires in the servo connectors to 
keep them from falling out.
