same with the two (2) Black lines from the Rudder Bar. These lines can be sorted out later when being
attached to the Rudder and Elevator.
Tail Skid:
Add the Tail Skid by inserting and aligning the holes in the Tail Skid Frame and secure in place with a
1/4" 00-90 Bolt and Nut. Snug fit the Nut so that the Tail Skid can move. See the picture on the next
page as well as the plan sheet.
Center a 12" length of Bungee Cord on the loop on the Tail Skid and then feed the ends through the
Frame loops for three times and then seize at the Tail Skid loop with a square knot. Treat the knot
lines with CA to cut of the excess to prevent fraying and cut off the excess cord with a sharp blade or
scissors close to the knot. See the picture above. Using Black thread seize the two (2) Bungee Cord
bundles in three (3) places, center and top and bottom for added detail. See the picture below
Elevator:
Gather the left and right cast metal Elevator halves; the cast metal Control Horns (2); 1/8" x 3/4"
Brass Tube. Adjust and straighten the two Elevator halves to match the plans if not already done.
Mark the two spars 3/8" from each end. See picture on the next page. Apply medium CA to one spar
end surfaces and slip into the Connector Tube up to the 3/8" mark; repeat gluing for the other side
while on a flat surface for a matching flat Elevator. Once the glue has set, glue the two control horns in
