Remove the fuselage from the packaging. Lay the
parts out on a table. You will notice the receiver
antenna wire extends from the back of the fuselage.

DO NOT CUT OFF THE EXCESS WIRE!

Slide the threaded wire rods into the holes in the
tail brace support. IMPORTANT! Be very careful

when inserting the wire through the holes in the
tail bracket. The antenna wire runs through the
bracket. You must be sure the threaded wire does
not bind on the antenna wire when inserting the
wires through the tail bracket.

Insert the fi n into the holes in the stabilizer.

Secure the tail assembly to the tail brace support
using two of the red nylon nuts. Tighten the nuts
snugly using just your fi ngers.
