Install the Horizontal Stabilizer

❏
1. Roughen a 1/8" [3mm] strip down the center of the top
and bottom of the horizontal stabilizer. Use alcohol to dull
the paint at the area to be glued. Do the same to the area
around the horizontal stab slot in the fuse.
❏
2. Center the stab left and right in the fuse. Make sure the
stab is square to the fuse by measuring the distance
between the wing tips and stab tips and setting them equal
to each other as shown in the photo. Before gluing, stand
back several feet and view the model from behind. The stab
should be parallel to the wing. If not, you will need to hold the
stab in the correct position as you glue it to the fuse.
❏
3. When satisfied, run a bead of thick CA glue along the top
and bottom of the stab where it meets the fuse on both sides.
❏
4. Glue the two tail doublers to the aft end of the fuse
as shown.
Install the Tail Servos & Linkages
❏
1. Glue the rudder and elevator servos into the cutout in
the fuse with the output splines both facing the front of the
plane. The servo in the bottom of the slot is the rudder servo
and should be installed with the splines on the left side of
the fuse. The servo in the top of the slot is the elevator servo
and should be installed with the splines on the right side of
the fuse. Both servo leads should exit out of the right side.
