These following instructions apply to you V-tail
builders, too.

❏

1. Temporarily position the stab mount on the

fuse with both stab halves. With the wing bolted
to the fuse, view the model from the rear to make
sure the stab aligns horizontally with the wing
(it’ll be a little trickier to see the V-tail stab
alignment with the wing, but it’s the same idea).
If necessary, trim the stab saddle of the fuse to
bring the stab into alignment with the wing.

❏

2. After you have achieved the alignment

described above, connect the elevator cable to
the elevator joiner wire. Route the cable through
the guide tube and securely glue the stab mount
to the fuse with 30-minute epoxy. Hold the stab
mount in position with T-pins until the epoxy is
fully cured.

❏

3. Sand the end of the stab mount and the fuse

sheeting even with former 6.

❏

4. If you’re building the straight-tail, trim the

bottom of the fin to fit the fuse and stab mount.
Glue the fin in position. Make the small fin filler
from leftover 1/8" balsa. Glue the fin filler to the
front of the fin and the fuse top. Blend to the fin
by sanding.

servo in the wing.

❏

1. Cut a hole through the bottom wing sheeting

to accommodate your aileron servo. Test fit your servo.

❏

2. Make two servo mount plates from leftover

1/8" plywood. Glue the servo mount plates to the
bottom of the wing. Mount your aileron servo to
the plates with the wood screws that came with
your servo.

❏

3. Connect the aileron servo to the aileron

torque rods with the nylon swivel and swivel
clevis and two .074" x 4" wire pushrods. Cut the
pushrods to the correct length and connect them
to the servo horn with a Z-bend. If necessary,
enlarge the holes in your servo horn with a hobby
knife or a #48 drill.

4. Make a one arm servo horn for your elevator

servo by cutting off the unused arms. Connect the
