Assemble The Horizontal Stab; Install The Elevator Linkage - Dynaflite Bird of Time Instruction Manual

Assemble the Horizontal Stab

1. Cut the covering from the two small holes
in the bottom of the left and right stab halves.
The joiner wire should have flat spots ground
into it for the 4-40 x 1/8" [3.2mm] set screws that
will hold the stab halves to the joiner wire.
2. Enlarge the holes in the swivel clevis, for
the shorter forward joiner wire, with a 7/64"
[2.8mm] drill bit. Install the nylon swivel clevis
on the forward joiner wire.
3. Insert the joiner wires in the left stab half
(shown here upside down). Note: After you have
installed the completed stab on the model, you
may want to glue these wires permanently into
one of the stab halves with thin CA. This will
make it harder to misplace the wires.
4. The stab pivots on the rear wire. It is full
flying and aerodynamically balanced. Check
that your stab fits properly, then remove it.

Install the Elevator Linkage

The following photos show a CS-5 micro servo
being installed. If you are using a larger mini
servo, you may need to trim the hole in the
fuselage for the servo to fit. You will also need
to glue the servo directly to the fuselage side.
1. The elevator pushrod is pre-assembled and
consists of a wire with a Z-bend on one end and
a threaded connector soldered to the other end.
