Glue the vertical stabilizer after the glue on the horizontal stabilizer is dry. First glue it to the fuselage
and check that it follows the center line of the fuselage and is perpendicular to the horizontal stabilizer.
Then glue the tail landing gear wire to the underside of the rudder with the installed plastic tube. Slide
the longer control horn onto the pushrod Z-Bend and glue it also to the bottom side of the rudder.
Beware that no glue flows in the plastic tube!!
We recommend using the Emax CF 2812 motor, as no further
modifications have to be made to the fuselage.
The motor mount
(supplied with the motor) is installed in reverse order, so it is shorter,
see picture.
Be careful when gluing the motor bulkhead to its
correct orientation!
The opening in the bulkhead is prepared eccentrically because of the
correct side-thrust and down-thrust. The bulkhead must be glued into
the fuselage so that the opening is more in the upper right corner (in
view from the front), see picture.
Roughen the bulkhead before gluing and glue it thoroughly with CA to the fuselage. Mount the motor
and align it slightly to the right and downward (spacer in the top-right corner between motor mount and
bulkhead - as viewed from front). Some pieces of the fiberglass plate can be used as spacers and the
servo screws can be used for motor installation. Burn small openings through the engine cowling with
hot wire from both sides for tightening of the grub screws with 1.5 mm Allen key. After installation and
connection of the motor, it is absolutely necessary to glue the motor cables with a drop of CA to the
motor mount so that the cables will not be damaged by the rotating part of the motor, see 3rd picture.
