steps ‘h’ through ‘n.’ 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 

 
 

 

q.

 

From the back side of former #8, guide the wire through the second hole in former #8, and 

gently pull the ‘wire’ snug between all the formers.  

r.

 

From the front side of former #8, guide the ‘wire’ through formers #7, #6 and #5; from the 
front side of former #5, route the ‘wire’ through the holes in 

in the lower-left corner of former #4, pull the wire snug and 
form a knot. 

s.

 

At the back of former #4, apply CA adhesive to both knots.  

Trim off the loose ends of excess ‘wire.’ 

t.

 

Insert the end of a ‘wire’ into the hole in the left-front of the 

horizontal tailplane. Tie a knot in the ‘wire’ and pull the knot 
snug against the bottom of the horizontal tailplane. 

u.

 

Guide the ‘wire’ down through the top-left hole under the 

rudder and back up through the top-right hole under the 
rudder. Insert the end of a ‘wire’ into the hole in the right-front 

of the horizontal tailplane. Pull the wire snug and form a 
knot  

in 

the  
‘wire.’ 

 
 

 
 

v.

 

Apply CA adhesive to the knots. Trim off the loose ends of excess ‘wire.’
