[6.4mm] beyond the bend. Attach the pushrod to the servo 
arm using a nylon FasLink. Thread the clevise up or down 
on the pushrod as necessary to center the aileron with the

1. Slide the wing tube into the fuselage centering the 

tube in the fuselage.

❏ 

2. Install the wing panels onto the wing tube and secure 

them to the fuselage using two nylon wing bolts.

❏ 

3. Slide the horizontal stabilizer into the stab slot at the 

aft end of the fuselage.

❏ 

4. Center the stab left and right in the fuselage, 

using the uncovered balsa as a guide. Measure the 
distance from the stab tips to the wing tips and make the 
measurements equal.

❏ 

5. View the model from behind and confi rm that the 

stab is parallel with the wing panels. If not, lightly sand the 
stab slot to adjust the position of the stab. Use 30-minute 
epoxy to glue the stab into the fuselage. Use denatured 
alcohol to clean up any excess epoxy. Allow the epoxy to 
cure undisturbed.

❏ ❏ 

6. Locate three hinges. Insert a pin through the center 

of each hinge and then insert the hinge into the hinge slots 
in the trailing edge of the stabilizer.
