in the back of the fuselage. Take the string from the back of
the fuselage and pull it through the lower servo opening on
the left side of the fuselage. From the right side of the fuselage
install the elevator servo lead through the servo opening and
out of the fuselage through the rudder servo opening on the
left side of the fuselage. Tie both the rudder and elevator servo
leads with the string.

3. From the front of the fuselage pull the servo leads

through the fuselage with the string. Tape the servo leads to
the fuselage to prevent them from falling back into the fuselage.

4. Install the elevator servo into the servo opening on the

right side of the fuselage. Drill a 1/16" [1.6 mm] hole through
the mounting holes of the servo into the servo mounting rails
in the fuselage.

❏ ❏

5. Install and then remove a servo mounting screw into

each of the holes. Apply a drop of thin CA into the holes to
harden the threads. Once the glue has hardened, install the
servo into the servo opening. Center the servo and then install
a servo arm as shown.

6. Drill a 5/64" [ 2 mm] hole through the hole in the servo

arm as shown.

7. Repeat steps 4 - 6 for the rudder servo.

Install the Stab and Elevator

If you have not yet removed the canopy, remove it by sliding
it forward and then lifting the back.

1. Temporarily install the wing tube into the fuselage and

the wings onto the wing tubes. Secure the wing panels to the
fuselage with the nylon wing bolts.

2. Temporarily install the horizontal stabilizer into the

opening in the back of the fuselage. Position it so that the
distance from the tip of the wing to the tip of the stab is of
equal distance.
