Fuselage Continued
79.
Pierce the covering over the axle holes on both sides of the wheels (applies only if using
optional wheel set with covered spindle).
80.
Fit the wheels over the landing gear wires on each side of the model. If you are using the
stock wheels supplied in the kit, bend the ends of the wires up 90 degrees to retain the
wheels, and trim off the excess wire. If you purchased the optional spindle wheels
[DUB150ML], either follow the same bending instructions to retain the wheel or, trim the
wire about 3/16 in. beyond the outer face of the wheels hub, and press on one of the fancy
nylon retainers (supplied with the optional wheel set) over the axle stub.
81.
Tail Surfaces - Using low tack masking tape, secure the vertical stabilizer and rudder
(beveled edge down) to the work surface. Ensure that there is a 1/64 in. gap between the
vertical stabilizer and rudder, and that the rudder horn slot is oriented to the bottom of the
assembly, near V1. Hinge the surfaces by slitting a length of 1/2 in. wide tape down the
center, then apply it over the gap between the two surfaces.
82.
Repeat step 81 for the horizontal stabilizer and elevator.. Ensure that the elevator is laying
beveled side down, and that there is a 1/64 in. gap between the surfaces.
83.
Slit the covering over the rudder horn slot on the
left
side of the rudder. Press the rudder
horn R2 into the slot until it bottoms out on the right side of the rudder. Ensure that the hole
at the tip of the horn is oriented over the hinge line of the surfaces. Bond with medium CA.
84.
Lay the horizontal stabilizer/elevator on the work surface with the bottom (beveled) side of
the elevator
facing up
. Slit the covering over the elevator horn slot on the
bottom right
side of the elevator. Remember, everything is up-side-down, so the proper slot is located
on the left, as shown in photo 84. Press the elevator horn E2 into the slot until it bottoms
out against the top of the elevator. Ensure that the hole in the tip of the horn is oriented
over the hinge line of the surfaces. Bond with medium CA.
85.
Remove the covering over the two slots near the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer,
on the
bottom surface only
.
86.
Remove the covering over the central slot in the horizontal stabilizer, on both the
top and
bottom
surfaces.
