5.2.2 Fuselage tail - elevator pushrods and servos
Glue vertical stabiliser 1 & 2 to the fuselage. Glue all parts of rudder together. Glue L1 and L2
parts of the elevator. The profile is symmetric, so the left and right sides are identical. Glue
elevator arm together and smooth the surface with sand paper (you can use drill). Glue the
horizontal stabilizers perfectly perpendicular to the fuselage. Make a Z bend on the elevator
pushrod wire. Repeat it for rudder pushrod wire. Mount the elevator assembly to the
stabilizer using the 1,2 - 1,5 mm carbon rod or steel wire. Glue elevator lock to the fuselage.
Mount the rudder assembly to the vertical stabilizer using the 1,2 - 1,5 mm carbon rod or steel
wire. Elevator and rudder should move freely controlled by the pushrod and servo. Check the
functionality of the elevator and rudder assembly.
