Assemble The Tail Section; Install The Stabilizer - GREAT PLANES Jancair ES EP ARF Instruction Manual

❏
11. Remove the servo horns from the servos. Make a Z-bend
at the masking tape of each pushrod. Fit the Z-bends you
just made into the third holes on the control horns and
reattach the servo horns to the servos. Small adjustments
can be made on the pushrods to bring the ailerons to the
neutral position by pinching or expanding the "V"-shaped
bend with pliers.
❏
12. Glue the anti-rotation pins into the aft holes of the
wing root ribs.

ASSEMBLE THE TAIL SECTION

Install the Stabilizer

❏
1. Draw a line 7/16" [11 mm] long just aft of the leading
edge centered on the top of the elevator (the beveled
leading edge of the elevator is the bottom).
❏
2. Use a hobby knife to cut away the material at the line
for the elevator control horn. Unlike the ailerons, the elevator
control horn will pass all the way through the elevator.
❏
3. Test fit the control horn into the slot by pushing it up
through the bottom of the elevator until it is fully seated.
Press a control horn backplate onto the tab from the top.
This step is just to confirm fit. Do not add any glue until
instructed to do so.
❏
4. Trim off the portion of the control horn tab that protrudes
beyond the backplate.
❏
5. Temporarily install the wing panels onto the fuselage
by inserting the 1/4" x 9-3/4" [6 x 247 mm] carbon wing
joiner tube into the fuselage and sliding the wing panels
onto the tube. The anti-rotation pins will fit into mating holes
in the fuselage.
