9. Use low-tack tape to keep the fin in alignment

Servo and Receiver Installation
Required Parts
Fuselage assembly Servo with hardware (2)
Receiver
Servo extension, 3-inch (76mm)
Required tools and Adhesives
Pencil
Thin CA
Pin vise
Drill bit: 1/16-inch (1.5mm)
Hook and loop tape Scissors
Phillips screwdriver: #1
1. Remove the canopy hatch from the fusealge.
Place the elevator servo in the fuselage with the
output shaft to teh front of the fuselage. Slide
the servo to the left. Use a pencil to transfer the
positions for the mounting screws on the servo tray.
2. Remove the servo from the fuselage. Use a pin
vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill the
four holes for the servo mounting screws.
3. Place 2–3 drops of thin CA in each hole to
harden the surrounding wood. This harder surface
makes the screws more secure when installed.
4. Place the servo in the fuselage. Use a #1 Phillips
screwdriver and the screws provided with the servo
to secure it in the fuselage.
3. Use a felt-tipped pen to trace the outline of the
fin on the top of the stabilizer.
When cutting the covering make sure not to
cut into the underlying wood and weaken the
stabilizer. Another option is to use a soldering
iron or hot knife to melt the covering, rather than
cutting, to avoid damaging the stabilizer.
4. Use a hobby knife with a new #11 blade to trim
the covering 1/16-inch (1.5mm) inside the line
drawn in the previous step.
5. Mix 1/2 ounce (15ml) of 30-minute epoxy.
Lightly brush a thin layer of 30-minute epoxy on
the exposed wood of the stabilizer.
6. Brush a thin layer of epoxy on the bottom of the
fin as shown.
7. Position the fin back on the fuselage. Use a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol to remove any
excess epoxy.
8. Use a square to make sure the fin is aligned with
the stabilizer.
