#1 Trace the outer stab root, on some 2-
3 mm light balsa wood and, after you
trim it to fit inside the stab flange flash-
ing, cut some lightening holes, for servo
wire access. Use some 5-minute epoxy
and glue it in place. Use a razor to cut it
flush with the stab root flashing, and to
prepare it for the foam tape.
#2 Add some thin foam cushion to the
root rib, Sonic Tronic™ or any light foam
wing saddle tape.
#3 Glue a hard point, inside each end of
the carbon stab tube, for the mount
screw and install the stab tube in one
stab half. Measure how far the tube
inserts into the socket. Then, transfer
the measurement to the stab, centered
on the tube socket area. Mark the hole
to be drilled 8 mm from the end of the
tube, or centered on the hard point.
#4 Drill a 8mm hole, centered on the
measured mark, through the surface of
the skin only, to sink a hard point (like a
wood dowel) and glue it flush, resting on
the stab tube socket, using 5 minute
epoxy.
#5 With the tube inserted in the stab,
hard point up, drill a 1mm hole through
the stab hard point and through the stab
tube hard point. Next, screw a self-
tapping servo mount screw, or equiva-
lent, to secure the stabilizer to the stab
tube.
#6 Install the second stab half and
repeat the procedure.
Wing Installation.
The following is the suggestion of Bryan
Hebert. CARF recommends to use the
included control horns, just like in the
elevators. If you want to follow Bryan's
method, it is described here:
