Step 24 – cont.
Once you have both servo rails glued in, you
will need to pre-drill your servo mounting
holes. Note: Position the servos so you leave
approximately 1/16" between the #1 rib and
the side of the servo.
Once you are done with pre-drilling the
servo mounting holes, remove the servos
and set them aside. You will not need them
until section 7.
Step 25
Next find the
sheet with precut slots and glue it at the
trailing edge of the aircraft on the topside
of the airframe using thick CA.
NOTE: Make sure the slots are at the
T.E and NOT facing the front of the
airframe when installing.
Next, turn the airframe over (bottom side up)
and locate two of the
fin offset spacers. Align the spacers so
they butt up to the T.E. and are aligned to
the bottom edge on the inside of the #1
ribs. Repeat this step for both spacers.
