6. Glue the carbon fiber wing dowels into the fuse with
a small amount of thin CA.
❏
1. Remove the covering from the control horn slots in the
rudder and elevator.
❏
2. Use a small square and a single-edge razor blade or
a #11 hobby blade to cut a strip of covering from the bottom
and top of the stab aligned with the fin slot and
perpendicular to the hinge line. Use a light touch to cut only
into the covering and not into the wood. Also be sure to
use a new blade–if the blade is dull it will cause you to apply
more pressure, thus cutting into the wood.
❏
3. Glue the fin to the top of the stab, keeping it vertical
and perpendicular to the elevator hinge line. Note: The
elevator hinge pivot is on the top of the stab.
❏
1. Mount the wing to the fuse with the four rubber bands.
❏
2. Move the tape holding the pushrod strings forward of
the pushrod exits. This will minimize the chance of gluing the
pushrod strings to the fuse while gluing the tail in place.
❏
3. Three things need to be aligned before the tail can be
mounted. Do several dry runs of this process before gluing
the tail to the fuse with medium CA.
❏
4. The center of the fin needs to be aligned with the
center of the fuse.
