Slide the stabilizer in the fuselage. Center the stabilizer on the fuselage as shown.
5 6 8 9 Use sandpaper to lightly sand the elevator joiner wire where it will fit into the elevators. Remove the stabilizer from the fuselage. Use a hobby knife with a new #11 blade to remove the covering 1/16 inch (1.5mm) INSIDE the lines drawn in the previous step. Nehmen Sie das Leitwerk aus dem Rumpf heraus. Entfernen Sie vorsichtig mit einem Hobbymesser mit 11 Klinge die Folie 1,5mm hinter der Markierung aus dem vorherigen Schritt.
10 11 12 Rudder Installation• Einbau des Seitenleitwerks• INSTALLAZIONE DEL TIMONE 1 LL RR LL RR Fit the elevator to the stabilizer using the hinges. Make sure the joiner wire also fits into the elevator. Align the tip of the elevator with the tip of the stabilizer. Apply thin CA to the top and bottom of each hinge. Once the CA cures, gently pull on the fixed surface and control surface to make sure the hinges are glued securely. If not, apply additional CA to secure each of the hinges.
2 4 5 6 Use sandpaper to lightly sand the tail wheel wire where it will be inserted into the rudder. Fit the rudder to the fin using the hinges. Make sure the tail wheel wire also fits into the rudder. Trim the slot in the rudder as necessary to fit over the tail gear bushing. Rauen Sie das waagerechte Ende des Spornraddraht an, dass in das Ruder gesteckt wird. Usare carta vetrata per carteggiare leggermente la parte della gamba del carrello di coda che entra nel timone.
7 Once the epoxy fully cures, apply thin CA to both sides of each hinge. Once the CA cures, gently pull on the fixed surface and control surface to make sure the hinges are glued securely. If not, apply additional CA to secure each of the hinges. Geben Sie auf die Ober- und Unterseite der Scharniere dünnflüssigen Sekundenkleber. Ziehen Sie nach aushärten des Kleber vorsichtig am Ruderblatt um die Klebung zu überprüfen. Kleben Sie falls notwendig nach.
4 Rudder and Elevator Servo Installation• Einbau von Seiten und Höhenruderservo•INSTALLAZIONE SERVI TIMONE ED ELEVATORE 1 2 4 M2 x 6 x2 Use the radio system to center the rudder and elevator servos.

Tighten the screw at the fuselage to complete the wing strut installation.
Center of Gravity Der Schwerpunkt Centro Di Gravita’ (Baricentro) An important part of preparing the aircraft for flight is properly balancing the model. Ein sehr wichtiger Teil in der Flugvorbereitung ist es das Flugzeug richtig auszubalancieren. Un punto importante per preparare l’aereo al volo è quello di fare un centraggio corretto. 1. Attach the wing panels to the fuselage. Make sure to connect the leads from the aileron to the appropriate leads from the receiver.
Control Throws Ruderausschläge 1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your model. Check the movement of the rudder using the transmitter. When the stick is moved to the right, the rudder should also move right. Reverse the direction of the servo at the transmitter if necessary. 1. Schalten Sie den Sender und Empfänger ihres Modells ein. Prüfen Sie die Seitenruderaussschläge mit dem Sender. Bewegen Sie den Seitenruderstick nach rechts, sollte sich das Ruder auch nach rechts bewegen.
Corse Dei Comandi 1. Accendere trasmettitore e ricevitore del modello. Controllare i movimenti del timone agendo sul trasmettitore. Quando lo stick va a destra, anche il timone deve andare a destra. Se questo non avvenisse bisogna invertire il verso del servo dal trasmettitore. 2. Sempre con il radiocomando controllare il movimento dell’elevatore. Muovendo il suo stick verso il basso del trasmettitore, l’elevatore si deve muovere verso l’alto. 3.
