15. Secure the fuselage with 3x10mm washer self-
tapping screw as shown.
16. Secure the Vertical Fin in place with two 3x40mm
Socket Screws, two M3 Washers and two M3 Locknuts.
17. Trial fit the Horizontal Tail onto the vertical fin,
note that flat surface should be facing up and the
other side with the air foil is facing down. It might be
necessary to file/sand the contact area on the vertical
fin so that they make perfect contact. Apply epoxy at
the contact area and make sure it is perpendicular
after securing it with two 3x18mm Wood Screws and
two M3 Washers. Secure two vertical Tip Fins onto
horizontal tail with four 2x8mm Wood Screws and
M2 washer.
18. You will have to install the remote glow plug
adaptor (TTR3803) for easy glow ignition. Also install
a diverter and drill an exit hole at the bottom of the
fuselage or you may extend the diverter to fuselage
exhaust vent to obtain a more scale-like look.
19. Install the wire strike on the front windshield. The
big one is at the bottom and small one is on the top.
Use 2x5mm wood screws to secure the strike in place.

20. Install the front windshield with twenty 2x5mm
screws and M2 nuts. Carefully make drill marks and
drill 5/64" (2mm) holes then secure the front windshield
in place. Apply thin instant CA adhesive for each screw
and nut.
Trail fit the windows and you may need to trim the
fuselage to get a better fit. Next make drill marks and
drill 1/16"(1.5mm) holes then secure the front side
window with eight 2x5mm wood screws. After you
done the installation of the window then peel away the
protecting film.
You may skip the installation of rear side windows as it
is easier for you in case of tuning engine or
adjustment and it also gets better cooling.

wood screws as shown.
22. Drill 1/16" (1.5mm) hole then apply epoxy or thick
CA next thread the tail skid at the bottom of vertical fin.
