Parts Needed
• Fuselage
• Horizontal stabilizer with elevator
• Vertical stabilizer with rudder
• Hardware package
Tools and Adhesives Needed
• Hobby knife
• Phillips screwdriver
• Blue Locktite
• Adjustable wrench
Caution: The 2 mm nuts used to mount the tail assembly to the
fuselage are small and easily lost. Use great care during that part
of the assembly so you do not inadvertly lose these parts.
Step 1. Locate the two white plastic clevises and screw them
onto the pushrods 10 turns at the rear of the fuselage. This will
prevent the pushrods from sliding out of the fuselage.
Note: The control surfaces, elevator and rudder are prehinged
using the covering applied to the tail structure. Check to make
sure the covering is secure. If necessary, a sealing iron can be
used to re-adhere the covering.
Step 2. Locate the horizontal stabilizer and elevator that will be
attached to the fuselage.
Step 3. Locate the vertical tail fin and rudder.
Step 4. Mount the vertical fin and rudder to the horizontal
stabilizer and elevator by sliding the two metal rods through the
holes in the horizontal stabilizer. Then push the rods through the
fuselage and lock them in place using an adjustable wrench the
two 2 mm nuts. Use blue Locktite on the threads to secure the
nuts in place.
Step 5. Attach the elevator and rudder clevises to the outter
most hole on the control horns. See page 15 for "Control Throw."
