Do not enlarge the holes in the fuselage rails
as some are used for the hatch alignment.
 9. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread the servo
mounting screw into the four holes for mounting the
elevator servo.
 10. Place 2–3 drops of thin CA in each hole to
harden the surrounding wood. This will harden the
wood, making the screws more secure.
 11. Secure the elevator servo in the fuselage using
the screws provided with the servo and a #1
Phillips screwdriver.
 12. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove
the covering to expose the holes to mount the
elevator control horn. Use care not to poke through
the hole to the top of the elevator.
 13. Use side cutters to trim the pins on the control
horn to a length of 3/32-inch (2mm) so they don’t
extend through the top of the elevator.
 14. Position the horn on the elevator. Use a felt-tipped
pen to trace the outline of the horn on the elevator.
