10. Component P and gear components. 11. Note that the installation hole at the lower end of component P is inclined, and it will be installed on the body in a tilted downward manner, forming a tension line pull angle. Combination powertrain components, use glue to fix the motor and brass shaft sleeve, ensuring that the motor gear is properly engaged with the main gear.

19. Take one 0.8x300mm carbon fiber rod for making vertical tail. Vertical tail component H E. 20. Fix the carbon fiber rod onto component H. The end of the carbon fiber rod should extend at least 10mm beyond the edge of component H. Please carefully obser ve the shape of component H in the picture to avoid confusion.

22. Flip over the tail wing frame. Install component E vertically at the position shown in the diagram to form a vertical tail control horn. This component is fixed with glue. 23. Vertical tail limiter I. 24. Install one m1x3 screw into the hole on the side of component I. Screw in at a depth of approximately 1mm for subsequent steps.
Page 11
25. Insert the vertical tail onto the tail base and place component I on the end of the carbon rod at the bottom of the vertical tail. Tighten the screws on component I so that the vertical tail does not detach from the bracket and can rotate freely. 26.

27. Before installing component R, bend the carbon fiber rod into a ring and press it onto a flat surface to ensure there is no additional stress after installation. Install component R on one end of the carbon fiber rod. This component is fixed with glue. 28.
Page 13
30. Install component R in the same way on the other end of the carbon fiber rod. 31. Bend the other end of the carbon fiber rod and fix it as shown in the diagram. The distance between the two fixed endpoints of the carbon fiber rod should be 30mm. 32.

33. Fix component X at both ends of a 0.8x22mm carbon fiber rod to form a horizontal tail rotor assembly. Please pay attention to the shape of the parts shown in the diagram to avoid confusion. 34. Install the horizontal tail rotor assembly on the horizontal tail as shown in the figure. Note that the slotted side of components X and R on the horizontal tail are facing the same side.
Page 15
35. Install component E vertically on the right end of the horizontal tail shaft with the bottom facing downwards (the slotted side of component X and component R facing downwards) to form a horizontal tail rudder angle. This component is fixed with glue. 36.

38. Insert the horizontal tail rotor shaft into the slot at the bottom of the tail base and fix the horizontal tail cover plate N with screws, so that the horizontal tail can rotate freely in the base. 39. Details: Fix the horizontal tail cover plate N with screws, so that the horizontal tail can rotate freely in the base.

44. Assembled wing frame. 45. Wing fixing piece L. 46. Install two m1x3 screws on the wing fixing piece L.
Page 19
47. Fix the center of the wing onto the fuselage frame with wing fixing piece L. 48. Wing fixed. The installation of the wing here is only for the purpose of demonstrating the installation method, and the subsequent steps need to be removed for covering operation.

53. Fix the steel wire clamp onto the end of the pu sh rods with heat shrink tubes and fix them with adhesive. 54. Attach the push rods to the ser vo arms. 55. Cut the end of the push rod to the appropriate length. (In the neutral state of the tails, the end of the pull rod should be about 10mm away from the control arms.)
Page 22
56. Install connecting hooks on the control arms, use heat shrink tubing to connect the push rods to the connecting hook, and fix it with glue. 57. Propeller adapter M, propeller shaft sleeve and propeller. 58. Fix the propeller onto the shaft using the propeller adapter M and propeller shaft sleeve, and apply an appropriate amount of glue.

59. The battery is fixed to the battery holder using Velcro. 60. Covering method: Lay the film on a flat surface. 61. Apply glue to the skeleton and press it onto the film. (Alcohol glue is used here. 3M 77 spray glue would be better.)
Page 24
62. Cut the film along the edge after the glue has solidified and install the parts on to the model. Assembly complete!
