bly.
‡ Use a 90º triangle to make sure the fin is per-
pendicular to the stab.
‡ Strip covering from the areas of contact on
both the stab top and the fin bottom. Agaiin, be
certain to leave about 1/8” of covering in the
area of contact.
‡ When satisfied that the fin and stab are
square, glue in place with JET 6 Epoxy™ or
Slow Jet™.
9. ‡ From the 4” piece of tri-stock balsa, cut two 2”
pieces.
‡ Round the ends by sanding lightly to improve
fit.
‡ Position the tri-stock at the fin/stab joint and
trace the outline. Remove the covering inside
the trace line.
‡ Glue both pieces in place on either side of the
fin.
10. ‡ Remove the wing and cut away the covering
over the hole on the left side of the fuse top.
This slot is for the rudder pushrod exit.

LANDING WHEEL OPTION
NOTE: The materials needed for the landing wheel
option are NOT INCLUDED in your kit. Refer to the
inside cover of this manual for materials needed.
Follow these steps ONLY if you want to install a
landing wheel in your models. Otherwise, contin-
ue with information on your Turbo 550 motor.
1. ‡ Referring to the fuse side view on the plan for
location, drill a 3/32” dia. hole straight up
through the fuse bottom into the center of the
plastic motor mount.
2. ‡ Using 3/32” wire, shape the landing gear by
bending over the plan drawing.
3. ‡ Using two 1/2” landing gear straps to secure
the wire, install the gear as shown.
4. ‡ Install a 1-1/2” wheel, using 3/32” wheel col-
lars.
6. ‡ Taking care to avoid cutting the wood
underneath, strip away the covering in the
area of the stab that contacts the fuse. Be cer-
tain to leave at least 1/8” to 3/16” of covering
firmly bonded to the stab center.
‡ Again making sure not to cut the wood below,
remove covering on the fuse top in the area
where the stab will sit.
7. ‡ Using Slow Jet™ or JET 6 Epoxy™, firmly glue
the stab in place on the fuse and allow to dry
thoroughly.
