ASSEMBLY

✰ 

1. Remove the battery cover from the transmitter by pressing 

on the cover and sliding it downward. Install four new “AA” 
batteries, then replace the cover.

✰ 

2. Fit the large 

vertical fi n

 tab part way into the slot in the 

horizontal stabilizer

. Slide the two pieces together into the aft 

end of the 

fuselage

, but leave the pieces only partially inserted 

into the fuse. Fit the tail pushrods into the 

adjustable clevises

that are attached to the tail 

control horns

. Slide the vertical fi n 

and horizontal stabilizer as far forward as they can go. 

✰ 

3. There is a slot in the fuselage that the large tab on the 

vertical fi n must pass through which locks the horizontal stabilizer 
in place.

✰ 

4. The tail surface servo arms must be perpendicular to the 

servo cases as shown when adjusting the pushrod positions in 
the clevises. If the servo arms are not perpendicular to the servo 
cases, carefully move the arms by hand until they are.
