❏ 3.Test fit the tail cone bottom to the fuselage. Little by

little, sand the front edge of the cone where necessary

to get a good fit. Hint: Scuff the outside of the cone with

320-grit sandpaper, then use a lead pencil to mark the

cone where necessary for trimming.

❏ 4. Cut the remainder of the 3/8" x 3/8" [9.5 x

9.5mm] basswood stick used for mounting the flap

and aileron servos into six 3/8" [9.5mm] square tail

cone mounting blocks. Sand an angle on one end

of three of the blocks so that when glued into position

as shown, they will match the angle of the tail cone.

Glue the blocks into position where shown in the

photo and on the plan.

❏ 5. Reposition the bottom tail cone. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm]

holes through the cone and the mounting blocks. Use a

3/32" [2.4mm] drill to enlarge the holes in the cone only,

then temporarily mount the bottom cone with three #2 x

3/8" [9.5mm] button head screws.

❏ 6. Glue on the other part of die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm]

plywood former 10C. Glue a piece of leftover 1/8"

[3.2mm] balsa around the pushrod. Trim the piece to

match the curvature of 10C.

❏ 7. Cut out the top tail cone. Position, fit and trim

the cone as necessary for a good fit. Note: These

instructions illustrate permanently gluing on the top

tail cone. With the rudder in position the top tail cone

cannot be removed. However, should you prefer to

make the top tail cone removable, this could be done

by mounting the cone with the remaining three

mounting blocks and making the rudder removable

by using removable Robart hinge pockets.
