STeP 1: MouNTiNG The WiNG
q Cut away the covering material from over the top and bottom of the two
predrilled wing-screw mounting holes in the trailing edge of the wing. The holes
are located 1-1/8" (29mm) in front of the trailing edge and 1-3/4" (44mm) out
from the centre-section joint.
q Cut away the covering material from over the two wing-dowel mounting
holes in the wing mounting bulkhead.
q Place the wing into the wing saddle, push it forward completely, then push
the trailing edge down into place.
q Align the holes in the wing with the predrilled holes in the wing mounting
block inside the fuselage.
q Secure the wing into place, using two M4 x 35mm machine screws and two
M4 flat washers.
STeP 2: AlIgnIng The hORIzOnTAl STABIlISeR
q Cut away the covering material from over each side of the horizontal stabiliser
mounting slot in the fuselage. The stabiliser mounting slot is 1/4" (6mm) wide
and 5-1/4" (133mm) long.

you'll NeeD The FolloWiNG PArTS FroM The KiT:
q (1) 27-1/2" (700mm) Threaded Wire with 90º Bend
q (1) Nylon Control Horn with Backplate
q (1) Nylon Clevis
you'll NeeD The FolloWiNG ToolS AND SuPPlieS:
q Thin C/A
q # 1 Phillips Head Screwdriver
q Wire Cutters
q Modeling Knife
q Electric Drill
STeP 1: iNSTAlliNG The ruDDer SerVo
q Install the rudder servo into the centre of the servo tray, making sure to drill
1/16" (1.6mm) diameter pilot holes for the servo mounting screws.
IMPORTANT Note the orientation of the servo. When installed, the servo
output shaft should be toward the front of the fuselage.
STeP 2: iNSTAlliNG The ruDDer CoNTrol horN
q Cut away the covering material from over the rudder pushrod exit hole in the
left side of the fuselage. The pushrod exit hole is located 4" (102mm) in front
of the rudder hinge line and 7/8" (22mm) up from the bottom of the fuselage.
IMPORTANT Before installing the control horn in the next procedure, remember to apply a couple of drops of thin C/A into the
mounting holes to reinforce the surrounding wood.
q Install the control horn onto the left side of the rudder, using the same
techniques that you used to install the elevator control horns. The centreline
of the control horn should be 3/8" (10mm) up from the bottom of the rudder
(measured at the hinge line) and the clevis attachment holes should be lined
up over the hinge line. The base of the control horn should be parallel to the
hinge line, too.
STeP 3: iNSTAlliNG The ruDDer PuShroD ASSeMbly
q Cut away all but one arm from a "4-point" servo horn, then enlarge the hole that is 1/2" (13mm) out from the centre of the servo horn,
using a 5/64" (2mm) diameter drill bit.
