MOUNT THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER ❏ 1. Sand the sheeting around the bottom and sides
of the fuselage even with former F10.
❏ 2. Mount the stabilizer servo in the rear servo tray. Cut
the unthreaded end from a 36" [910mm] pushrod so the pushrod will be 25" [635mm] long.Thread a nylon clevis 20 full turns onto the pushrod. Guide the pushrod through stabilizer pushrod tube, then connect the clevis to the servo arm on the stabilizer servo.
❏ 3. Trim the nylon bellcrank as shown. Enlarge the
remaining holes with a Hobbico servo horn drill or a 5/64" [2mm] drill.
❏ 4. Temporarily mount the bellcrank with the brass
bushing, a 4-40 x 3/4" [19mm] screw, a #4 washer and a 4-40 nut. Mark the stabilizer pushrod where it crosses the holes in the bellcrank.
❏ 5. Disconnect the pushrod from the servo, slide the pushrod out past former F11B and make a Z- bend in the pushrod at the mark. Cut off the excess wire. Remove the bellcrank.
❏ 6. Make the short stabilizer pushrod as shown in
the sketch from a 6" [150mm] pushrod. Note that a portion of the threaded end also has to be cut off. Thread the pushrod into the swivel clevis on the stabilizer control rod. Connect the bellcrank to the pushrod.
❏ 7. Glue together both sets of die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] plywood top outer and top inner stabilizer mounts. Be certain to make a right and a left side. Note that the parts align along the top edges. ❏ 8. Now is your final opportunity to make any
fixes/improvements/adjustments to the covering on the horizontal stabilizer, because soon, it will be permanently mounted to the fuselage. Do anything now that will be difficult to do when the stab is on
