2. Insert the vertical stabilizer into the fi n slot as shown
above. During installation, make sure the rudder control horn
is below the elevator so that it does not interfere with it. It may
take a little maneuvering to slide the aft fi n rod in front of the
wood block in the fuselage slot.
❏
3. Slide the two nylon fi n bolts into the bottom fuselage
openings and through the stabilizer holes. This will align
the assembly.
❏
4. Tighten the bolts until they fi t snug against the bottom
of the fuselage and hold the stab securely in place. Note:
Overtightening these bolts will damage the nylon threads,
wooden structure and may cause in-fl ight failure. Do not
overtighten these bolts.
❏
5. Connect both the elevator and rudder pushrods to their
control horns. Use the third-from-the-inner hole in the control
horn for both pushrods to obtain the recommended throws.
Slide the silicone clevis keeper over the clevis.
Tail assembly is complete.

Install the Motor Batteries

Warning: Never transport the NexSTAR EP Select with the
batteries connected to the ESC. The only time the batteries
should be connected is when you are preparing the model
for fl ight.
By now, it is likely that the motor batteries are done charging.
Let's install them.
❏
1. If it isn't open already, open the battery compartment by
grasping the front windshield and lifting carefully.
❏
2. Place two 8-cell battery packs onto the battery tray as
shown but do not connect them to the ESC. Be sure to secure
them using hook and loop material (shown), rubber bands, or
tie wraps. Whichever method you use, keep in mind that it is
important that they not move while the airplane is in fl ight.
❏
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
WARNING: Always leave the batteries unplugged unless you
are preparing to fl y. Assume that whenever the batteries are
plugged in, the motor and propeller could start at any time.
Stay away from the propeller when the motor batteries are
plugged in. NEVER have the motor batteries plugged in with
the radio system "OFF".
