6. Same as was done for the elevator joiner wire, drill
the hole and cut the slot in the rudder for the tail gear wire,
making sure the plastic washer and the collar are up against
the bottom of the fuselage. Permanently join the rudder to
the vertical stabilizer using epoxy to glue the joiner wire into
the rudder and thin CA for the hinges.
HOOK UP THE ELEVATOR AND RUDDER
1. Enlarge the holes in the remaining two control horns
with a #57 (.043" [1mm]) drill or a hobby knife so the pushrod
wires will fi t.
2. Connect one of the pushrod wires to the second-from-
the-outer hole of a control horn. Slide the wire up into the
rudder guide tube in the fuselage. Then, mount the horn to
the rudder the same way the horns were mounted to the
ailerons (by drilling 5/64" [2mm] or 3/32" [2.4mm] holes
for the screws and mounting the horn with two 2 x 10mm
machine-thread Phillips screws and the horn mounting plate
on the other side).
3. Connect the other pushrod to the last control horn and
mount it to the elevator the same way.
4. Use the included 2 x 4mm Phillips wood screws to mount
your elevator and rudder servos in the plywood servo tray.
Refer to this photo for the following fi ve steps.
5. Fit the servo tray into the fuselage where shown, but do
not yet glue it into position.
