Tail - THUNDER TIGER Tiger Bipe 40 Assembly Instructions Manual

INSTALL PUSHRODS
Cut away the covering material over the two
uppermost slots that are on the right and left
sides of the fuselage at the rear.
Cut away the covering from the lowermost
slot on the RIGHT side of the fuselage.
Locate the elevator pushrod. It is the one with
the two rods on one end.
Use a pliers and spread the two rods apart
so they are about 2" apart at the end.
Now, use some tape to hold the two rods
together so they are only about 1/2" apart.
Insert this pushrod into the fuselage. Note: It
is easiest to start at the opening in the tail, work-
ing from the tail end forward until the non-
threaded end is in the radio compartment.
Cut the tape loose so the rods can spread
and let them come out the two uppermost slots
in the fuse sides.
In the same fashion, insert the rudder
pushrod so the threaded end comes out the
lower slot in the right side of the fuse.
INSTALL TAIL GROUP
CA the hinges into the rudder and stabilizer
control surfaces using the same technique out-
lined for the ailerons.
Trim the material away that covers a notch in
the front of the stabilizer. On the top of the
stab, use a straightedge and a pencil to extend
the lines formed by the notch back to the rear
of the stab. This marks the center of the stab.
Position the stablilizer on top of the fuselage
and line up the mark you just drew on top of the
stab with the center of the fuselage; the rear
edge of the fuselage should line up with the
hinge line. Use a pencil to draw a line on the
bottom of the stab along the fuselage sides.
