Since the 85" Edge 540T (and most of our other giant scale models) now come pre-hinged and the hinge
gaps sealed, the most time consuming task of the assembly process has been eliminated. This leaves a
very minimal amount of gluing for the assembler, which consists of installing the composite control horns
in the ailerons, elevators and rudder, with only the rudder hinges needing to be glued. For this reason we
recommend that you spend the first hour or so of assembly completing this task. After this has been
completed the rest of the assembly process consists of installing components into and onto the airframe.
1. Locate the proper control horns and base plates for each flying surface. Place the 2 control horns into
the baseplate and carefully insert them into the pre-cut slots in the control surface. Use a fine tipped felt
marker to trace around the baseplate.
2. Remove the horn assembly and use your #11 blade to remove the covering from inside the ink line that
you traced around the control horn base. Wipe away the ink line with a paper towel soaked in denatured
alcohol.
