4. Fuselage 

Slide the horizontal tail plane into the fuselage 

slot as shown, (image 18). Make certain the tail 

plane is centred correctly. Connect the remaining 

elevator servo to its horn and fix the cover as 

described in Section 2.   

Locate the “Y” lead marked “2” and connect to 

the two elevator servos. Route the remaining plug 

through the fuselage toward the wing area. 

Locate the “Y” lead marked “4” and connect one 

leg to the tail-wheel steering servo. Locate the 

extension lead marked “5” and connect to the 

retracting tail wheel unit, (image 19). Route the 

other end of this lead through the fuselage 

towards the wing area. 

Secure the retracting tail wheel unit in position 

using the four M3 x 10mm self-tapping screws, 

(image 20). 

Centre the tail wheel steering servo and fit the 

control horn in position. Electrically lower the 

retracting tail wheel to ensure the plastic control 

horn locates correctly with the control pin in the 

servo horn, (image 21). 

The remaining connector from the “Y” lead 

marked “4” should now be connected to the 

rudder servo, (image 22). 

Slide the vertical fin and rudder assembly into 

position on the fuselage. Make certain the rudder 

servo wire is routed neatly. Secure the assembly 

in position using the two M3 x 75mm screws, 

(image 23.)
