Place the 7/8” long nylon strap into the notch
behind the landing gear cut out.

3/32” drill bit.

Mount the strap onto the fuselage using a
#4 x 1/2” pan head screw.

Repeat for the other side of the fuselage.

Place the wing strut onto the nylon strap.

NOTE:The short front of the strut should be parallel

with the front of the wing. In the above photo
the short side is in front.

Modify the small control horns by cutting, as
shown above.

Thread the metal clevis onto the threaded
wires at the outer end of the strut until the
wire protrudes into the center of the clevis.

Install the modified control horns onto the
clevis at the end of the strut.

Mark the modified control horn hole locations
onto the wing.

NOTE:Keep the front strut parallel to the leading

edge of the wing.

Drill the control horn holes, using a 1/16”
drill.

Screw the modified control horns to the wing,
using #2 x 1/2” pan head screws.

Repeat these steps for the other strut.

Remove both struts when completed.
