Installing Fin

 Apply a small amount of Lube

 Insert wires into the fin while

 Tighten front and rear clamp
bolts.
Important! The clamping bolts have "E" clips on the ends of the bolts to prevent the bolt from
falling out during transportation. Do not continue to loosen the bolt once you feel the
resistance of the "E" clip, you will damage and loose the "E" clip. This is the same on Fin,
Stab and Wing mounts.
