 Step 1
Slide the stabilizer halves into the slot in the fuselage.
Use four 4-40 x 1/2" screws and four #4 washers to
secure the stabilizer. Use threadlock to prevent the
screws from vibrating loose during flight.
 Step 2
Attach a control horn to one of the elevator clevises. Line
the holes in the control horn with the hinge line and mark
the location for the mounting crews onto the elevator.
 Step 3
Drill the holes using a 3/32" drill bit. Use thin CA to
harden the holes. Mount the control horn using the horn
backplate and three 2mm x 12mm screws.
