of the hardware bag. Use scissors to trim the
part along the line.
Try to place the aerodynamics on the leading
edge of the center main wing. Sue instant
glue to secure it in place.
Remove the elevator out of the horizontal.
Trial fit the horizontal in place on the
fuselage. Please note the distance to the tip
of the horizontal must be equal on both
sides. Please refer to the last drawing. When
you are satisfied with the alignment, use
marker to carefully trace around the top and
bottom of the horizontal where it meets the
fuselage.

shrinking tube
Please follow the following drawings to assemble the rods. Insert the 90-degree bend into the
hole of the pushrod dowel and saturate the dowel with instant glue where the rod contacts
the dowel. Allow to cure. Slide a piece of heat shrink tubing over the end of the pushrod
dowel and use a heat gun to shrink it in place over rod/dowel connection.

Two ways to glue the horizontal to the
fuselage:
a. Fit the horizontal to the fuselage. Spread
generous amount of epoxy on the area
where the covering was removed on top and
bottom. Move the horizontal from the left to
the right several times, so the epoxy will
move into the fuselage. Set the horizontal to
the correct position, wipe off the extra epoxy
and wait until the glue is dried enough.
b. Fit the horizontal to the fuselage. Inject
generous amount of instant glue to the
conjunctions and wait the glue to dry.
Use 2x15mm tapping screws to secure the
hinges. Use side-cutter to remove extra
length of screws.
Secure the tail wheel to the tail gear. Use
M3x10 tapping screws to secure the tail gear
mount to the tail.
Try to find the slot on the rudder for installing
the tail gear. Use sharp hobby knife to
remove the covering out of the slot. Spread
UHU glue or epoxy into the slot.
Spread Super glue on the one half of hinges
and insert the hinges to the hinge slots on
the rudder. Spread Super glue on the other
half of hinges and insert the hinges to the
slots on the vertical.
Secure the hinges in place with M2x15
tapping screws.

Slide the one pieces of rudder rods and two
piece of elevator rod into the tubes.
3) Slide one piece of 5mm silicone tube to
the rod and thread the metal clip to the end
of rod.
4) Pull the rod straight. Mark the locations for
installing the control horn on rudder and
elevator where the straight rods meet the
rudder and elevator. Secure the control horns
on the marked locations with M2x25mm
screws.
5) Adjust the metal clips for connecting the
control horn properly. Slide the silicone tube
over the connecting place.
6) Keep the distance between the end of the
transparent tube and the metal clip around
30mm and drop some instant glue to secure
the transparent tube to the fuselage. Make
sure the movement of the rods will be freely.
