Vertical Tail Installation
Next, you will need the vertical tail and
the top fuselage piece that receives the
tail. You will also need the motor stick
mount.
1. First, apply adhesive to the tabs in the
vertical tail and butting edge and insert
into the corresponding slots in the
fuselage top piece. Make sure to install
the vertical tail at a right angle relative to
the fuselage top.
2. After the tail has cured, install the
stick motor mount by applying liberal
amounts of epoxy to the stick. The
placement of the motor mount should
completely cover up the slot that
received the tail and it must be straight
and centered. Take extra care in
installing the motor mount correctly.
Centered and straight motor mount.
NOTE: Elevator servo wires and motor
wires can be run at this step to avoid
fishing the wires later. See our servo
installation section for recommended
placement.
