❏ 3. Position the stab on the fuselage and align it as
before. From the rear of the model, check that the stab is parallel with the wing. If it is not, lightly sand the stab mount on the fuselage as needed. When you are satisfied with the alignment, glue the stab in place with medium CA or epoxy.
❏ 4. Insert the four CA hinges in the precut slots in the elevator.Trial fit the elevator to the stab. Make any adjustments needed to the hinge slots. When satisfied with the fit, glue the hinges in place with three drops of thin CA on the top and bottom of the hinges. DO NOT use any CA accelerator. ❏ 5. Mount the 90-degree metal bracket to the fuselage
left side using a large wood screw. There is a pilot hole already drilled in the fuselage at the correct location. Be sure to insert the elevator pushrod into the bracket before you mount it into position.
❏ 6.The nylon control horn is mounted to the bottom of
the elevator inline with the pushrod. Mark the location of the mounting holes and drill 3/32” [2.4mm] holes. Mount the control horn using the supplied 2-56 x 1/2” [12.7mm] machine screws and nylon backplate.
❏ 7. Enlarge the holes in the control horn with a 3/32” [2.4mm] drill bit. Insert the elevator pushrod into the second hole from the end. Use a plastic retainer to hold the pushrod in place.
Install the Vertical Fin ❏ 1. Position the vertical fin on the fuselage and horizontal stab. Note that the leading edge of the fin is centered on the fuselage just aft of the canopy, but the rear of the fin is off center to the right. This will help increase the flying line tension. Mark the outline of the fin on the fuselage and stab. ❏ 2. Trim the covering from the fuselage and stab
inside the lines. Remove any felt-tip pen marks. Glue the vertical fin in place with epoxy. Be sure the fin is perpendicular to the horizontal stab. After the epoxy hardens, reinforce the joint as needed.
