5. Apply the rougher, “hook” side to the bottom of the

battery compartment inside the fuselage. (If more Velcro is

ever required for more batteries, you can purchase Great
Planes adhesive-back Velcro separately (GPMQ4480)—or,
you could cut the included strip in half and have enough for at

least two batteries.)

6. For alignment purporses, temporarily mount one of the

wings to the fuselage with the 1-3/8" [35mm] Phillips sheet
metal screw and washer.

7. Apply glue to all joining surfaces and fi t the fi n and stab

into position. (Again, using canopy glue will make clean up

easier with damp paper towels.) Working quickly, see if the
stab is parallel with the wing. If necessary, align the stab with

the wing and do not disturb the assembly until the glue dries.

8. Remove the wing. Test-fi t, then glue the pinned hinge

into the bottom of the rudder and the fuselage—use care not
to get any glue into the hinge pin. As a precaution, you could
add a dab of petroleum jelly or plastic-compatible oil to the
hinge joint. Note: if the rudder control horn down inside the
rudder interferes with the fi t of the hinge keeping it from going
all the way in, it’s okay to nip a little corner off the hinge to
clear the horn.

1. The same as was done with the aileron servos, glue

the elevator and rudder servos into position.
