7. Use a #0 Phillips screwdriver to secure the
tail gear wire in the mount located at the bottom
of the rudder. Support the opposite side of the fin
to ensure that it does not break when tightening the
screw.
8. Use a drop of medium CA at the font and back of
the tail wheel bracket mount cover to secure it to the
fuselage. Don’t over-glue the cover in case it requires
removal to make changes to the steering arm or tail
wheel assembly.
9. The top wing can now be removed from the
fuselage to make the fuselage manageable for the
install of the components in the fuselage.

1. Remove the servo cover by lifting it at the rear
edge of the cover. The rear is held in position using
magnets, and the front with a tab that keys into the
fuselage. Set the cover aside.
2. Place the elevator servo in the servo tray toward
the left side of the fuselage as shown, routing the
servo lead under the tray. With the output of the
servo facing to the front of the fuselage, use a
pencil to mark the location for the servo mounting
screws.
3. Remove the servo from the fuselage. Use a pin
vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit to drill the two
holes in the tray for the servo mounting screws.
