(continued)
78.
Remove the covering from the two central slots on the
top
of the horizontal stabilizer.
79.
Turn the stabilizer over, and remove the covering from the four slots on the
bottom
of the
stabilizer.
80.
Fit the tabs at the
bottom
of the vertical stabilizer into the central slots in the
top
of the
horizontal stabilizer. Make sure that the two surfaces are 90 degrees to each other, then
run a small bead of medium CA on both sides of the vertical stabilizer, where it meets the
horizontal stabilizer.
81.
Fit the tabs at the
rear
of the fuselage into the two outer slots in the
bottom
of the horizontal
stabilizer. Ensure that the stabilizers are perpendicular to the fuselage sides and
top
. Apply
a small bead of medium CA along both sides of the horizontal stabilizer where it meets the
fuselage sides.
Control Linkages
82.
Trim the pushrods 1/8 in. short of the control horns. Do not discard the remaining wire.
83.
Locate the 1/16 in. heat-shrink tube in the hardware bag. Cut a piece 3/4 in. long. Slide
this piece over two pieces of the .015 in. push rod wire. Shrink using a heat gun or warm
soldering iron. Allow the heat shrink tubing to cool thoroughly.
84.
When cool, remove the heat shrink tube from the wire – cut it into two equal pieces
approximately 3/8 in. long.
85.
Refer to the
Pushrod Detail
drawing on the
Detail Sheet 2 of 2
. Make two “Part Bs” from
the remaining .015 pushrod wire. Trim the two “Part Bs” to an overall length of 3/4 in.
