Attention: Because after the compound materials cure, there will be ammonia iris on the surface, which

affect the bonding strength afterwards. Please polish with sandpaper on all bonding surface.

1. Ta il I ns tall ation

1.1. Sand the top surface of stabilizer mount. Make sure it’s vertical to the side surface.

1.2. Sand the side surface, or you can make streamline as shown in the picture below.

1.3. Cover the tail boom with 300# sandpaper, then sand the groove of the stabilizer mount. Make

sure that the groove is parallel to the fuselage, and parallel to the outside surface of the tail boom.

And after bonding to the tail boom, the upper side of the mount should be parallel to the central

line of the tail boom.

1.4. Polish, cut, or drill the tail as you prefer. We suggest that you may make the rear end of the tail

thinner. It should weigh 12g after sanding.

1.5. Cut the elevator. You may decide the size and shape based on your favorite design. Cutting the 2

holes on the balsa is recommended.

1.9. Make a slot on the front end of the vertical tail. The width is the same as the diameter of the tail

boom, and the length is 10mm.

1.10. Slotting the tail boom: Width 2.5mm, length 20mm. Make sure the edge of the two slots are

smooth. You may sand it with 300 grit sandpaper.

1.11. Join the tail boom and the vertical tail. Sand or remove small sections until it fits.

1.12. First cover the tail side with hinge.

the front to the end of the tail boom.

1.15. Bond the tail boom and the vertical tail, with fiberglass and epoxy.

1.16. Cut the covering of the stabilizer: 2mm inside of the carbon.

1.17. Fix the tail on your working board. Check the joint:

 The stabilizer should be parallel to the center line of the tail boom, or it may have an angle of

-1 degree.

 The hinge of the elevator should be vertical to the tail boom.

 The center line of the tail boom should be right in the middle of the stabilizer.
