Hinge the ailerons to the wing and the elevator to the
horizontal stabilizer. (A Welders glue hinge
instructional video is on the web site.)

Glue together the horizontal pieces; nose, wing, rear
fuselage and horizontal tail. Note: The wing spar goes
on the bottom and the aileron and elevator hinges go
on top.

Lower fuselage to horizontal – Assembly:

If using a stick mount, cut a slot in the horizontal nose
piece and glue the mount in place. For a firewall plate
wait until the airframe is built before installing. Set
motor mount with NO right or down thrust. It is not
required.

If installing a single aileron servo then cut a pocket
for it now in the nose piece. Lay the vertical pieces on
the horizontal assembly to mark and cut clearance
pockets for the aileron servo.

Glue the lower vertical fuselage pieces to the
horizontal assembly making sure it is square.

Now is the time to add carbon bracing to the tail. Cut 
the 1mm carbon rod into 2 – 3.5” pieces and 6 – 5.25” 
pieces. Glue them per the picture with hotglue.
