 2. Slide the pins on the bottom of the fin through
the holes of the stabilizer and into those in the
fuselage. You will need to move the pushrods out
of the way to each side to drop the fin all the way
down. Make sure to seat the fin completely down
on the horizontal stab. You might need to push the
fin down with some slight pressure to fully seat it.
 3. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to install the two
2.5mm x 12mm sheet metal screws that secure the
tail assembly to the fuselage. Tighten the screws
until they stop. Do not overtighten as you may
crack the plastic.
 4. Connect the elevator pushrod clevis to the
elevator control horn in the hole that is farthest
away from the elevator. Make sure to slide the
silicone retainer onto the clevis to keep the clevis
from popping off of the control horn.
For new pilots, we recommend installing the
clevis for both the elevator and rudder pushrods
in the outermost hole on the control horn.
 5. Connect the rudder pushrod clevis to the rudder
control horn in the hole that is farthest away from
the rudder. Make sure to slide the silicone retainer
onto the clevis to keep the clevis from popping off
of the control horn.
