FINAL ASSEMBLY
Mount the Stabilizers
The removable tail needs to be checked often for wear . If the
tail develops excessive movement, thin CA sparingly applied
to the inside of the stab tubes and root ribs will cure it . If you
are able to transport the Eagle with the stabs installed, we
recommend permanently attaching the stab to the fuse with
epoxy . If you permanently install the stab, please be sure to
also use threadlocker on the mounting screws and check to
see that these are still in place before each flight .
o 1 . Fit the carbon stab tubes to one stab half . The shorter
tube goes in the front . Rotate the tube as you’re inserting it
and push each tube in until it stops .
o 2 . Fit the stab half to the fuse . Route the servo lead
through the plastic guide tube inside the fuse .
o 3 . Fit the other stab half and route its lead . Pull both leads
through as you insert the stabs .
o 4 . Install the stab halves using threadlocker, four 4-40 x
3/4" [19mm] phillips head screws, four #4 lock washers, and
four #4 washers . Make sure that the root rib of the stab sits
flat against the fuse side . If it doesn’t, remove the stabs and
try installing the tubes into the opposite stab half first .
Mount the Wing
o 1 . Fit the wing tube to one wing . Slide the wing and tube
into the fuse . Guide your aileron servo leads into the fuse .
o 2 . Fit the other wing . Make sure both wings sit flush
against the fuse sides .
o 3 . Secure each wing using one 1/4-20 nylon wing bolt .
