 2. The flying wires are attached to the bottom of the
stabilizer using 2mm x 10mm machine screws. They are
then attached to the fuselage using two 2mm x 8mm
sheet metal screws.
 3. Use medium CA to glue the lower fin extension to the
bottom of the fuselage.
Note: The clear fin extensions are included to enhance
the 3D flight envelope. Quique designed these and found
them to help the model in inverted harriers as well as
extreme yaw control during other high alpha manevers.

Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator, ailerons and
rudder. Adjust the position of the pushrod at the control horn to
achieve the following measurements when moving the sticks to
their endpoints.

the surface.
