Step 6.
The elevator control horns can now be installed.
Carefully mark and drill pilot holes in the hard point.
Be careful not to drill all the way through the elevator.
Step 7.
Locate the two elevator pushrods and fit one of the sup-
plied clevises to each. Fit the clevis to the control horn
and make a 'Z' bend in the other end to fit on the servo
arm.
Step 8.
The vertical fin now needs to be installed.
Temporarily fit the fin in place and accu-
rately mark around the fin where it meets
the fuselage. Remove the fin and remove
the covering from within the marked area
taking care not to cut into the wood.
Step 9.
Mix up some epoxy adhesive and apply it to the
A A
base of the vertical fin. Fit the fin in place and us-
ing strips of masking tape, hold the fin squarely in
position. Make sure the measurements marked 'A'
are the same.
Step 10.
Once the epoxy has cured, finalise the installation of the
vertical fin by running some medium or thick CA adhesive
around the base of the fin where the fuselage meets the
fin.
Step 11.
Locate the large 'hinge point' type hinges and epoxy these into the vertical
fin. Make sure that these sit square to the fin and take care not to get ep-
oxy in the hinge pivot. As with the elevator installation, some light machine
oil or petroleum jelly applied to the hinge pivot will prevent the hinge from
binding.
Step 12.
Glue the rudder torque rod in place as shown.
When the glue has set, epoxy the rudder in place again being
careful not to get glue in the hinge pivot.
