1. Hinge check
Check that all control surface hinges are firmly secured. If required they can be glued in
position using a small quantity of the supplied adhesive.
2. Horizontal Tail Plane
Fix the elevator control horn in the moulded recess
as shown using two M2 x 15mm screws, (image 1).
Make certain that the plastic horn is fitted to the
correct side, with the plastic reinforcement plate
fixed in the moulded recess on the top side of the
elevator.
Using a light grade abrasive paper, lightly abrade the painted mating surfaces where the
horizontal tail plane joins the fuselage. This provides a good key for the adhesive. (image 2).
Glue the horizontal tail plane in position using the supplied adhesive, (image 3). Secure in
position using the two M3 x 40mm screws, (image 4). Use the adhesive sparingly towards
the edges of the parts to be glued and immediately wipe any excess from the joint.

3. Vertical Fin & Rudder
Fix the plastic rudder control horn in the moulded recess using two M2 x 30mm screws,
(image 5). Make certain that the plastic horn is fitted to the correct side, with the
reinforcement plate fixed in position on the opposite side of the rudder.
Using a light grade abrasive paper, lightly abrade the painted mating surfaces of the rudder
and horizontal tail plane to provide a good key for the adhesive, (image 6).
