7. Temporarily install the rudder onto the vertical fin,
making sure the tail wheel guide wire is inserted into
the hole you previously drilled. Do not glue the
hinges at this time.
8. Take the elevator and insert the four hinges into the
hinge slots (do not glue the hinges at this time).
Temporarily install it onto the horizontal stabilizer.
9. Mark with your pencil the leading edge of the elevator
at the point where it contacts the tail wheel wire.

10. Remove the elevator. Using your hobby knife,
carefully cut a notch, at the mark on the elevator, the
same size as the tail wheel wire. Make the notch as
small as possible. Trial fit the elevator back onto the
horizontal stabilizer until you are satisfied with the fit.
Remove the elevator when done.
Note: All gaps in the hinge lines of the control
surfaces should be as minimal as possible. No gap
is best.
11. Install the tail wheel onto the tail wheel assembly and
secure it with the supplied tail wheel collar and screw.
