Before Starting Assembly
Before beginning the assembly of your Twist™ Plug-N-Play™, remove each part from its bag for inspection. Closely
inspect the fuselage, wing panels, rudder and stabilizer for damage. If you find any damaged or missing parts,
contact the place of purchase.
If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun or covering iron to remove them. Use caution while working
around areas where the colors overlap to prevent separating the colors.

Section 1: Installing the Tail Section
Required Parts
• Stabilizer assembly • Fuselage
• Rudder assembly
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Crescent wrench • Threadlock
• 4-40 lock nut (2) • #4 washer (2)
Step 1
Loosen the nuts on the bottom of the fuselage that are
holding the rudder/fin assembly onto the fuselage. Pull
the rudder/fin assembly straight up to remove from the
fuselage. Use care not to damage the lower portion of the
fin or the fuselage fairing.
Step 2
Locate the stabilizer/elevator assembly. Position the
stabilizer/elevator assembly so the control horn will face
down, away from the fin. The threaded rods from the
rudder/fin assembly will slide into the two holes in the
stabilizer. The fuselage fairing has been slid into position
on the fin in the photograph.
Step 3
Slide the rudder/stabilizer assembly onto the fuselage.
Slide the #4 washers onto the threaded rods. Apply a drop
or two of threadlock to the exposed threads of the threaded
rods. Thread the nuts onto the rod, tightening them snugly
against the bottom of the fuselage.
