Installing the Horizontal Tail
1. Put the horizontal tail (PKZ5125) in the fuselage, making
sure the control horn is on the right side of the fuselage. The
control horn is the part on the elevator where the pushrod and
clevis attach.
Note: Alignment marks are on the top and bottom of the
horizontal tail.
2. Make sure the center of the horizontal tail is aligned with the
center of the fuselage.
3. Install clear tape on the top and bottom of the horizontal tail
and the fuselage.
Tip: Removal of tape from painted parts can remove paint.

Installing Pushrods on Control Horns
CAUTION: The installation positions of the pushrods
and clevises directly affect aircraft response. When these
are incorrectly connected for the pilot’s skill level,
unexpected aircraft response to controls can result in
unintended crash damage to the aircraft.
1. Pull the elastic band from the clevis up to the pushrod.
2. Carefully spread the clevis and put the clevis pin to the
outermost hole in the control horn.
Tip: The clevis can be threaded in and out to shorten or lengthen
the pushrod. Make sure transmitter trims are centered before
making mechanical adjustments.
3. Pull the elastic band from the rod onto the clevis to hold the
clevis on the control horn.
Please refer to Control Surface Travel Information for more
information about adjustment of the flight control surfaces and
the transmitter.
